Alpha Media’s “94.1 San Antonio’s Sports Star” KTFM Floresville TX will add CBS Sports Radio’s Jim Rome Show from 12-2pm weekdays starting Monday, August 14.
KTFM has been airing ESPN Radio programming in the timeslot since the cancellation of “Halftime” hosted by Mike Jimenez and station Brand Manager Tim Spence in early June. KTFM will continue to air ESPN’s “Greeny” from 10am-12pm.
As part of the deal, KTFM will also pick up Westwood One’s NFL and NCAA football packages for the 2023 season.
Westwood One today announced a new affiliation agreement to expand “The Jim Rome Show” from CBS Sports Radio into the San Antonio market on Alpha Media’s “San Antonio’s Sports Star” KTFM-FM beginning on August 14. “The Jim Rome Show” will air weekdays on “San Antonio’s Sports Star” KTFM-FM each weekday from 12 to 2 p.m. CT.
In addition, KTFM-FM will be the new market home of the NFL and NCAA Football broadcasts from Westwood One for 2023. Westwood One syndicates “The Jim Rome Show” as well as other CBS Sports Radio network programs.
“San Antonio is home to many long-time listeners,” said Rome. “Thrilled to be reconnecting with them on 94.1 San Antonio’s Sports Star again. Thank you for the warm welcome back!”
“Jim is still very much at the top of his game,” said Ryan Maguire, Vice President of Affiliate Sales for Westwood One Sports. “This move is not only great for longtime listeners of ‘The Jungle’ but for new ones who will be entertained by Jim’s unique brand of sports entertainment. We’re thrilled that we could work out this new partnership with Alpha Media in San Antonio.”
