Rover began his radio career at KXTE-FM Las Vegas, NV (X-107.5 Xtreme Radio). His first day on the air was his 21st birthday, September 21, 1996. In what is now a widely recounted story, Rover saw an ad in the newspaper looking for part-time disc jockeys on the station. With no experience under his belt, he created a fake résumé and demo tape and sent it to KXTE program director Mike Stern. When called in for an interview, Rover told Stern he had prior experience at WLUM-FM Milwaukee, as his demo tape suggested. It was at this point Stern told Rover he knew the program director of WLUM and that Rover had never worked there. Thinking he was in trouble, Rover got up to leave but was called back by Stern, who was impressed someone would go to such great lengths to get a job.
