Rosenfield started his television news career in 1981, after graduating from Duke University. He started out at WTVD-TV in Durham, North Carolina, where he was a general assignment reporter. He moved to Houston, KTRK, as a reporter and eventually anchor. He later moved to Chicago, where he became a reporter and weekend anchor at WLS-TV. He came to New York in 1998, and joined WCBS-TV, where he co-anchored the noon newscast with Cindy Hsu, and the 5pm newscast with Lisa Cooley (later known as Lisa Hill).

He left WCBS in April 2000, (after a contract dispute), and joined rival station WNBC-TV, where he co-anchored the 5pm newscast ("Live at Five") with Sue Simmons. He left WNBC in 2005, and returned to WCBS in June of that year to replace Ernie Anastos, who in turn left WCBS for a 5-year $10 million contract at WNYW-TV. He was one of the hirings of Dianne Doctor, who had been his previous boss at WNBC.

This move allowed Rosenfield to become lead male anchor at a local New York station, which would not have happened if he remained at WNBC (where longtime anchor Chuck Scarborough is locked in as anchor at 11pm for years to come).

Between June 2005 and April 2006, Rosenfield anchored CBS 2 News at 5 and CBS 2 News at 11 with Roz Abrams. In April 2006 he dropped the 5PM newscast and joined Dana Tyler at 6PM, while also keeping the 11PM with Dana. Roz had moved to noon and 5PM (but is now no longer at the station).

In June 2007, he and Dana Tyler were reassigned to the noon and 6pm newscasts at WCBS by new station managers.

Rosenfield lives in NYC with his wife, Dana Conroy, and two children. Jim follows a long list of journalists in his family. His grandfather developed the home newspaper circulation to increase newspaper sales while working with William Randolf Hearst.

Jim Rosenfield is the son of James Rosenfield, former President of the CBS Network.
