Phoenix Radio: KQFN Launching New Morning Show


CRC Broadcasting's KQFN 1580 AM / K257CD 99.3 FM and K240EU 95.9 FM The Fanatic in the East Valley-Phoenix has announced a new morning show, Bruce Jacobs & Helly debut Monday, September 23 at 5:30am.

The new program teams longtime Valley sports personality Bruce Jacobs with former Dallas Cowboys lineman and three-time Super Bowl champion Dale Hellestrae. Jacobs has been an Arizona radio personality for the better part of the last two decades having hosted shows on KGME, KFYI, and nationally for FOX Sports Radio.

Hellestrae won three Super Bowls as an NFL long snapper during a 17-year career before transitioning into sports media. Most recently he co-hosted a local radio show as well as having been a color analyst for the Arizona Rattlers, high school football and college football.

"We are so excited to have two well-known Phoenix sports radio veterans team up together every morning on the Fanatic," says CRC Broadcasting President/CEO Ron Cohen. "With Bruce and Dale on board, we're really looking forward to increasing our growth and popularity in the coming weeks and months."

"Begrudgingly we're bringing Jacobs on board although I have no idea why," added Director of Operations and afternoon host of "The Daily Blender" Jeffry O'Brien. "At least we also have Hellestrae who unlike his partner, makes sense. Dale is accomplished, and if Jacobs goes too far off the rails, Dale will crush him with my permission."

Jacobs said, "I was partners with a starting defensive lineman, I was partners with an All-Pro offensive lineman, and now I'm stuck with a guy who's had his ass touched more by Troy Aikman than his own wife."

"I've had some great highs in my life - three Super Bowls, two beautiful daughters, and a gorgeous wife. But never did I think I'd reach the low of having to partner with Bruce Jacobs," added Hellestrae.
