Who is Bruce Jacobs?

Ira Silverstein, better known by his pseudonym Bruce Jacobs, is a 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-FM ESPN 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 sister station XTRA Sports 910 and a syndicated weekend sports talk show on Fox Sports Radio.

Jacobs' career began on Long Island at WNYG 1440 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 also used to be one of the cohosts 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 Ben 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. Bruce often co-hosted his show with producer Karilyn "with a K" Frazier, with input from the show's technical director and Cardinal fan Andrew Babinski.
