Jim Rose, Makers Mark man, did TV at KAKE some 25-30 years ago. Good guy.
He may have been a good guy back then, but back in the early 2000's, when I was involved in local media, he was a royal douche. I'm good friends with a couple of people that are currently at KFAB and they both say he still smells of Massengill.
Guy is about five foot nothing, arrogant, hard to work with and has a streak of short man syndrome.
There are three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who has the same first name as a city; and never get involved with a woman with a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Now you stick to that, and everything else is cream cheese.

I guess that is what happens to some when the hit pay dirt.

He loves talking about his huskers. That I do know.

He is a Husker honk, and jackass. He grew up in Lincoln, was and is a superfan. Worked at KFOR in Lincoln before moving to Kansas for a better opportunity. Left Kansas for his dream job, PBP guy for Nebraska, working at KFAB, a 50,000 watt clear channel station. At that point, his ego grew exponentially.
Unfortunately for him, Nebraska football went into the tank under Coach Bill Callahan. During a commercial break in a game Nebraska was losing handily, Rose went on a tirade filled with f-bombs. He forgot a golden rule of radio, treat every mic as a hot mic. His microphone was hot and his tirade went out right on top of a Touchdown Herbicide commercial. It was great!
KFAB has downplayed the incident, even denied it, but it was heard by plenty. Rose was suspended. It was reported as a personal leave of absence. He was immediately replaced as PBP guy. Even with all of that, his ego has grown. He is a total ass clown and jackass.
