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.

It ought to be commemorated, as the day of deliverance, by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires and illuminations, from one end of this continent to the other, from this time forward forever more”
—John Adams (1735–1826)
“Only the history of free peoples is worth our attention; the history of men under a despotism is merely a collection of anecdotes.”

“When the LORD your God brings you into the land that you are about to enter and occupy...and you defeat them, then you must utterly destroy them. Make no covenant with them and show them no mercy. Do not intermarry with them, giving your daughters to their sons or taking their daughters for your sons, for that would turn away your children from following me, to serve other gods.”
—Bible: Hebrew, Deuteronomy 7:1-4.
