He was introduced to Jordan, a classmate who hadn’t even been accepted into the program yet. Linton, the show’s host, was working toward the completion of his degree in broadcast journalism in 2005 when he took a sports broadcasting class.
Now, they’re reaching millions of homes every day. The two friends have been on a decade-long journey that started by running a local cable sports show. Jarom Jordan laughed as he compared the career path he and his friend Spencer Linton have taken to the iconic line by hip-hop star Drake, “Started from the bottom, now we’re here.” Linton is a co-host of BYU Sports Nation with Jarom Jordan. Spencer Linton speaks in his office in the BYU broadcasting building.
This is the first of a three-part series detailing BYU Sports Nation, a daily sports show on BYUtv and BYU Radio.
