Steve Hartman is a well-known Los Angeles sports radio personality who also is a sports reporter with CBS 2's "Sports Central", a weekend show covering local and national athletic events, including NFL football now broadcast on CBS 2.

For more than two decades, Hartman has put his stamp on the sports world as a writer, team executive, and broadcaster. He has become a fixture at top sporting events, having covered Super Bowls, Final Fours and Major League All-Star Games. In addition, Hartman also served two seasons as a UCLA football radio color commentator, for which he earned a 1996 nomination for “best radio analyst” by the Southern California Sports Broadcasters Association.

In 2002, the SCSBA nominated Hartman as "best radio talk show host" making him the first person to be nominated as both a talk show host and color analyst.

In addition to his radio portfolio, he has been a weekend television sports anchor for KCBS in Los Angeles since 1998. Five times (1999-2001; 2003-04), Hartman and his colleagues have been honored as the best local sports television team by the SCSBA.  

In February 1989, Hartman began his sports radio career at KFOX in Los Angeles. A year later, he helped launch XTRA (now AM570 KLAC), the first all-sports station in southern California. The rest is broadcasting history.

 


Vic “the Brick” Jacobs is the son of Hungarian immigrants, which may account for the Transylvanian tone of his FEELING YOU!!" Vic grew up in Queens, NY. He got his degree in Communications from Ivy League--Cornell and then went backpacking through Micronesia. He began his broadcasting career in Guam in 1979 by, among other things, covering cockfights for 15 months on local cable TV. After returning to the States, he polished his act in Roswell, New Mexico, Austin, Texas and now Los Angeles.

Nowadays, Vic talks more about his amazing wife, Yuko and about a friend who owns an antique furniture store and lately has become a spiritual brother.
 
After almost two decades as a TV sportscaster and radio personality in LA, Jacobs refuses to be obsolete. The most inventive and metaphoric broadcasters continue to move, as he often says, from darkness to light...thriving in a city that still hasn't decided to embrace or dismiss him. 

This is the evolution.  Now, it's harmony and truth.  The darma, the karma, the whole thing.  I understand (some may think this is shtick), but this is my life.

Vic is currently one-third of the Loose Cannons from 12p-4p on AM570 KLAC as he adds his flavah of English and Spanish and mixed in with Yiddish and Martian--just a reflection, he says, on the melting pot culture of Los Angeles.
