Hi!
I'm Curt Bloom
WELCOME
Hello, I am Curt Bloom.
2022 marks the 35th season in broadcasting and my 31st in the Barons radio booth. With previous stops include Bakersfield, CA, Prince William County, VA, and Huntsville, AL before arriving in the “Magic City” prior to the 1992 season. I hold the distinct honor as the longest-tenured radio broadcaster in the 130-year history of the Birmingham Barons.
On July 24, 2022, I joined the Chicago White Sox PxP announcer Len Kasper in the booth substituting for Darrin Jackson.
During the fall I am the voice of college football and basketball for both Samford University and UAB on ESPN Plus.

One of the best qualities a person can have is being selfless and willing to help others. Curt has assisted many others in the business along the way. He is a solid veteran of the craft, versatile, and has been extremely good at what he does for a longtime.

He has such a passion for his craft and a love for those around him. His fun-loving personality is radiant and his desire to go above and beyond to reach others is admirable. Curt Bloom is one of a kind, and I am grateful for the friendship and professional partnership we’ve fostered over the years
