On March 13, 2017, 'The Nate Brown Show' went live with local host Nate Brown on KIMM. The 2-hour local sports talk show was on weekdays from 2 P.M. to 4 P.M., showcasing national, regional, and local sports guests and stories to the Black Hills region. It became Rapid City's and western South Dakota's first and only local sports talk show serving a population of over 216,000.
In November 2017, the show switched its time slot on weekdays to 4 P.M. to 6 P.M. It is still the area's only live and local sports talk show exclusively heard on KIMM (FOX Sports Rapid City). 'The Nate Brown Show' has since expanded their listenership across the state of South Dakota and rebranded its slogan to "South Dakota's Sports Talk Show."
