The Jungle is coming to San Antonio. San Antonio’s Sports Star has added Jim Rome to its weekday lineup.
Beginning on August 14, listeners will hear Rome every weekday from noon until 2 pm. The show will replace programming from ESPN Radio.
“Jim Rome returns to San Antonio. The Military City is going to love them some Jim Rome,” said Tim Spence, Director of Sports Operations for Alpha Media San Antonio, said in a press release. “Who’s the most outspoken…in your face sports personality in America? It’s Jim Rome. When he says, ‘Have a Take, Don’t Suck,’ he means it.”
The Sports Star dropped its local midday show Jiminez & Spence in June when Spence took himself off air and Mike Jiminez exited the station. The move came just weeks before ESPN layoffs claimed Jason Fitz, who was at the center of the ESPN Radio show that was airing in that time slot.
“San Antonio is home to many long-time listeners,” Rome said. “Thrilled to be reconnecting with them on 94.1 San Antonio’s Sports Star again. Thank you for the warm welcome back!”
