Bruce Jacobs, is an American sports talk radio show host. Jacobs most recently hosted Game On with Bruce Jacobs, from 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. on WTMM-FMESPN Radio 104.5 The Team, in New York's Capital Region. Jacobs is a former host on "NewsTalk 550" KFYI in Phoenix, Arizona. His show aired Monday through Friday 5-8am, Arizona time. Additionally, Jacobs hosted an afternoon sports talk show on KFYI's sister station XTRA Sports 910 and a syndicated weekend sports talk show on Fox Sports Radio. Jacobs' career began on Long Island at WNYG1440 AM in Babylon, NY, where he did drive-time sports, as well as hosting the "Sunday Night Sports-Wrap" program. He then went west to Phoenix where he co-hosted a local sports talk show with Mike Golic, now host of ESPN Radio's syndicated Mike and Mike in the Morning, on KFYI's sister station. Jacobs was also a cohost of the alternative lifestyle driven Mens Room radio program on One on One Sports. While Jacobs was usually on during the weekends he occasionally filled in for Ben Maller when Maller was on vacation or filling in for other hosts on the network. Topics on The Bruce Jacobs Show, which almost always were colored by Jacobs' unique brand of comedy, usually consisted of local politics and news stories, and occasionally sports. He often co-hosted his show with producer Karilyn "with a K" Frazier, with input from the show's technical director and Cardinal fan . Jacobs is a diehard Mets and Jets fan, and calls himself "the world's biggest Dolphin & Yankee hater". He is also not shy in expressing his opinion of the Arizona Cardinals, a topic that came up often on his sports show. For this reason he is often labeled as a Cardinals hater. Jacobs mutually parted ways with KFYI on June 9, 2009. Karilyn "with a K" Frazier left on the same day. Jacobs was on Sporting News Radio in the evening. However, he was released by the network December 2010. Beginning in September 2011, he took over the 3:00 p.m-7:00 p.m. slot on WTMM-FM in Albany, NY. In June 2009, the Phoenix Police Department boycotted Jacobs advertisers after he said on-air that a police officer who was murdered on the job would be "ashamed" of his wife for her immigration activism. In December 2011, Jacobs came under heat for anti-gay comments he made on the air when talking about the Los Angeles Sparks and Phoenix Mercury, referring to them as the Los Angeles Lesbians and Phoenix Dyke-ury. Jacobs later apologized after facing pressure from gay rights groups and the media. In August 2013, Albany, New York station WTMM announced that Jacobs's contract would not be renewed. Jacobs said of the station's decision, "If there's no broadcasting involved, then that's the way it goes. I would hope I can do other things." In January 2014, Jacobs returned to host Game On with Bruce Jacobs.
