Travis Rodgers

Travis Rodgers is a sports talk radio personality. He was the host of the Yahoo! Sports Radio program, Travis Rodgers Now, which aired weekdays 12-2pm EST. He also hosts the KLAA 830 AM program ESPN Morning Show, co-hosted by Kelvin Washington. Prior to his other radio shows, he was the producer of the nationally syndicated Jim Rome Show and the ESPN television show Jim Rome is Burning.

Travis Rodgers grew up in Arcadia, California. He graduated from Arcadia High School. He attended University of California, Santa Barbara, where he graduated with a BS in Political Science. He pitched for the UCSB baseball team for four seasons.

Rodgers was hired to work for the Los Angeles radio show The Jim Rome Show, becoming the producer in 1996. Through the efforts of Rome and Rodgers working together, they were able to syndicate the program, eventually reaching more than 200 affiliates in the United States and Canada. After leaving the show in 2009, he was hired in 2010 by KGOW 1560 AM, in Houston. At the beginning of 2011, he added a national program with Sporting News Radio which became Yahoo Sports Radio in September of that year, and was voted Best Sport Talk Host of 2011 by the Houston Press.

In 2012, Rodgers moved his program to KLAA 830 and began The Travis Rodgers Morning Show, based in Anaheim, California, and soon after KGOW dropped his local Houston program. Rodgers maintains his Yahoo! Sports Radio show as well as his local KLAA programming from 6–9 am PT, (his first national broadcast hour is also carried on KLAA from 9–10am PT). Rodgers's local program is advertised as "the only live, local morning sports show in the Los Angeles market". However, as of 2015 due to low rating, the show has since been changed in format and Travis Rodgers is now relegated to sidekick status as a co-host in the new ESPN Morning Show.

Rodgers considers his new show a blend of pop culture and sports, in that order. Rodgers varies from the normal sports talk format in several ways.
