History of The Show
The Jim Rome Show began on XTRA Sports 690 in San Diego as a local, five-hour program, running from 7 p.m. to midnight. In addition to this show, Rome frequently hosted a Saturday morning show which he today refers to as "Scrub Saturday." At a later time, the popularity of the nightly show prompted a shift to a four-hour daytime slot, running weekdays from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.
In 1996, Premiere Radio Networks picked up the program for national syndication. Sometime after, the show was shortened by one hour and the broadcast location was shifted from XTRA Sports 690 to the Premiere Radio Networks studio complex in Sherman Oaks, California. In late 2006, as part of Rome's new contract, he was granted a new studio in the San Fernando Valley, and the introduction was changed to describe the show as coming from "Southern California." In March 2007, the introduction reverted back to announcing the specific location as "Los Angeles".
As part of the broadcast deal bringing Rome's TV show to CBS Sports Network, The Jim Rome Show became a charter program of CBS Sports Radio upon its full launch on January 2, 2013.

“The most successful career must show a waste of strength that might have removed mountains, and the most unsuccessful is not that of the man who is taken unprepared, but of him who has prepared and is never taken. On a tragedy of that kind our national morality is duly silent.”
