Jeff Katz grew up in the blue collar Oxford Circle neighborhood of Philadelphia.
He worked on his first political campaign at the age of 12. Much to his parents’ chagrin, Jeff decided to become a police officer in Philadelphia’s rough and tumble public housing projects. After several years of dodging bullets, he traded his badge and gun for headphones and a microphone.
Jeff went on to host award winning talk shows on some top radio stations in some of America’s great cities; KNEW, San Francisco, WRKO, Boston, KNXT, Las Vegas, WPHT, Philadelphia, and most recently WBT, Charlotte.
He has appeared on many network television programs including; FOX News/The O’Reilly Factor, MSNBC/Chris Matthews, CNN/Morning Edition, ABC/Nightline, and CNN/Showbiz Tonight.
TALKERS Magazine has consistently ranked Jeff Katz as one of the 100 most important Talk Radio hosts in America. Radio & Records named Jeff an “All-Star” when the readers of R & R voted him one of the 5 best local hosts. Jeff also won the Achievement in Radio Award for “best talk show host.”
Twice saluted by the President of the United States for his volunteer service and honored by the Marine Corps League and Shomrim Society (A Fraternal Organization for Jewish Police Officers of the New York City Police Department), Jeff is very involved in his local community.
