Jim Rome is host for Rome is Burning. As host of a prominent sports radio talk show, Rome is known for his aggressive, informed, rapid-fire dialogue. Rome has established himself as the top choice of athletes and fans when it is time to know what is going on beyond the scoreboard. [CR-LF][CR-LF]Rome's nationally syndicated radio program, The Jim Rome Show, a.k.a. The Jungle, airs on more than 185 radio stations each weekday and boasts more than two million listeners. [CR-LF][CR-LF]In addition to his daily radio grind, Rome returned to ESPN to host Rome Is Burning, a weekly live, one-hour, provocative sports talk show beginning. The program originates from Los Angeles and features opinion, Rome's 'rants,' debate and guest appearances by some of the biggest name in sports. [CR-LF][CR-LF]Rome has made a cameo appearance along side Michael Jordan in Space Jam; appeared in Blink 182's music video; appeared on HBO's 'Arliss;' and released a CD, Welcome to the Jungle, which features memorable sound bites from frequent callers and the hip music regularly used on the radio show. [CR-LF][CR-LF]Rome previously served as host of the popular program 'The Last Word with Jim Rome', broadcast nightly on Fox Sports Net, for five years. Prior to that show, Rome spent a two-year stint hosting ESPN2's Talk2, a nightly one-hour interview show. Rome began his radio career at KTMS, Santa Barbara as the '$5 dollar-an-hour' traffic reporter and covered UC Santa Barbara's sports. He left KTMS for San Diego's all-sports station, XTRA Sports 690. It was during a temporary stint on a late-night show for the station that Rome debuted his 'smack' (Jungle Glossary term meaning sports talk in a gloating, uninhibited or unbridled manner). The style yielded high ratings, and, by acclimation of his listeners, 'The Jungle' was born. In 1996, to further keep up with demand, Premiere Radio Networks acquired exclusive syndication rights and the program continues to pick up affiliates throughout the country. [CR-LF][CR-LF]Rome graduated from the University of California, Santa Barbara in 1987, with a degree in Communications. He currently resides in Los Angeles with his wife, Janet.
