About Jim Rome
Jim Rome is a sports radio talk show host on CBS Sports Radio. Rome currently broadcasts The Jim Rome Show and previously hosted Jim Rome is Burning on ESPN.
 
Rome graduated from Calabasas High School in 1982 and the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) with a degree in Communications in 1987. He started his radio career at college radio station KCSB-FM while at UCSB, where he was sports director for one quarter, and at news station KTMS, also located in Santa Barbara. He eventually moved to XTRA Sports 690 in San Diego, where he started what is now known as The Jim Rome Show, or "The Jungle."
 
Rome's show became syndicated in 1996. It can now be heard on over 200 radio stations across the United States and Canada. In 1998, Rome released an album entitled Welcome to the Jungle, which featured memorable sound bites and music from the show.
 
In early 2003, Rome was interviewing friend Mark Shapiro, executive producer of programming and production at ESPN, on his radio program. Unexpectedly, the two began to discuss a possible return of Rome to ESPN, and within a few months, Rome was officially rehired to host Rome Is Burning. Rome openly attributes that interview as the impetus to his return to television.
 
In July 2006, Rome announced that his nationally syndicated radio show would remain on terrestrial radio instead of going to satellite radio. The radio show is heard on more than 200 stations across the United States and Canada and has an audience of approximately 2.5 million.
 
Rome has made cameo appearances in the movies Space JamTwo for the Money, and the 2005 remake of The Longest Yard as well as the television sitcom Arliss.
 
January 28, 2006, Rome was elected to the Southern California Jewish Sports Hall of Fame.
 
In 2011, Rome joined CBS network where he hosts his own show, as well as an interview-format show on the Showtime network. His past hosting jobs included sports discussion television shows Talk2 on ESPN 2, The FX Sports Show, and The Last Word.
 
From April 2012 to March 2015, Rome had a television sports talk show on CBS Sports Network named Rome.
