There have been so many exciting changes in the industry and I’m as motivated as ever to capitalize on them with CBS Sports Radio, our affiliates and sponsors, and our business partners at Westwood One. My thanks to Andre Fernandez, Chris Oliviero, Eric Spitz, and everyone involved in making CBS Sports Radio a success in the first four years.”
Rome joined CBS to fill multiple roles on both TV and radio. His CBS Sports Network show, “Rome” and “Jim Rome on Showtime” shows ran from 2012 until 2015. He continues to make cameo appearances on the NFL Today and on the NCAA Tournament.
The Jungle will continue to be one of the anchors of the CBS Sports Radio for the next few years.
