In partnership with Fenway Sports Group, Jacobs has been instrumental in the growth of NESN, the regional sports cable and satellite television network where he was on the board for 22 years.

Under Jacob’s leadership, the Boston Bruins have created and produced multiple shows exclusively for NESN, including four-time New England Emmy-winning show Behind the B and New England Emmy-winning kids program Bruins Academy.
In June 2013, it was revealed that Jacobs gave season tickets for life to Marge Bishop, a seventy-seven-year-old fan who had had season tickets since the time of the Nixon administration but was unable to renew her tickets in 2006 due to price increases. In 2004, Jacobs personally invited Bishop to join the organization's Season Ticket Advisory Board when she was first thinking about not renewing her tickets. She kept the tickets for two more seasons, before eventually deciding she no longer could. At this point, Jacobs gave her a backstage tour of the TD Garden arena and concluded the experience by providing her with a VIP pass good for any Bruins game.
