Joe Haze Radio Biography:
Haze started his radio journey in 1989 as an intern for KZZP-FM Phoenix. In early 1990 he moved to Jacksonville Florida to play the "Big Ape" mascot for the legendary Radio station WAPE-FM. After realizing he was under qualified for that position, he got his first on-air break on WAPE later that same year. In 1992 he took his talents across town to WJBT-FM to become the music director and the afternoon drive host. In 1997 Haze had the chance to move back to Phoenix to further his career but he chose to remain with the company and took a job at a start up radio station in San Diego. That station was and is KHTS-FM. He moved here to become the music director and first "official" night time air talent for Channel 933. Haze has remained the music director to this day and has leaned his knowledge of music and on-air talent to Clear Channel's sister station Star 94.1 as well.

Debbie Wagner, Clear Channel Radio San Diego President and Market Manager, announced the addition of The Jim Rome Show to the on-air lineup of XTRA Sports 1360 AM (KLSD) beginning on Monday, October 4, 2010.
Perhaps the most respected voice in the world of sports broadcasting, Jim Rome is the leading opinion-maker of his generation. As host of the nation’s premiere sports radio talk show, Rome is known for his aggressive, informed, rapid-fire dialogue. Jim has established himself as the top choice of athletes and fans who want to know what is going on beyond the scoreboard.
The Jim Rome Show will air on XTRA Sports 1360 AM weekdays from 9:00 am to 12:00 Noon, following the popular Dan Patrick Show, which airs from 6:00 am to 9:00 am. The XTRA Sports lineup for the remainder of the day will include: Chris Ello from 12:00 Noon to 3:00 pm; The Chargers Power Hour from 3:00 pm to 4:00 pm; and The Drive with Josh Rosenberg from 4:00 pm to 7:00 pm.
“I am extremely excited to welcome Jim and his ‘Clones’ to XTRA Sports 1360. I remember when he launched The Jungle late night on XTRA Sports and was hooked. I can’t wait to have Dan Patrick and Jim Rome back-to-back every morning on XTRA,” said XTRA Program Director, Brian Wilson.
Rome’s nationally syndicated radio program, The Jim Rome Show, a.k.a. The Jungle, airs on more than 200 radio stations each weekday and boasts more than two million listeners. Known as ‘Clones,’ this legion of fans live and breathe for Jim Rome’s “take” on the day’s major sports issues. His departure from conventional sports commentary has cultivated Rome’s unique dialogue with his listeners and garnered a large and loyal following.
In addition to his daily radio show, Rome is host to ESPN’s Jim Rome Is Burning, a provocative sports talk show airing at daily 4:30 pm EST. The program originates from Los Angeles and features opinion, Rome’s “rants,” debate and guest appearances by some of the biggest name in sports.
Rome’s broadcast career has included The Last Word with Jim Rome, a nightly show that ran for five years on Fox Sports Net, and a two-year stint hosting ESPN2’s Talk2. Rome began his radio career at KTMS, Santa Barbara as the “$5 dollar-an-hour” traffic reporter and covered UC Santa Barbara 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’s infamous “smack” (Jungle Glossary term meaning sports talk in a gloating, uninhibited or unbridled manner) was born. Jim’s style got listeners attention and lead to the creation of his show The Jungle, which went into syndication in 1996 with Premiere Radio Networks, who continues to expand its reach through affiliates nationwide.
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 and their two children.
