Rome's show will join KFAN radio lineup

Radio station 1320 KFAN announced today the station will now carry "The Jim Rome Show" from 10 a.m.-1 p.m. (MT), Monday through Friday, effective Aug. 31. KFAN, which will become a Fox Sports Radio affiliate, picks up the nation's premier sports radio talk show.

"We are very excited to add 'The Jim Rome Show' and Fox Sports to our radio lineup," said Chris Baum, senior vice president of broadcasting for Larry H. Miller Sports & Entertainment. "Rome is one of the best sports broadcasters in the business and we think his addition will continue to strengthen our station as the top-rated sports radio outlet in the market."

"The Jungle," airs on more than 200 radio stations each weekday and boasts more than two million listeners.
