A company specializing in guest booking is celebrating a milestone. Radio Guest Quest has been servicing radio stations for 20 years. Currently, they book for more than 100 stations, including some in New York, Philadelphia, Atlanta, and Dallas.
In a release, the company noted the one-year anniversary of Radio Guest Quest moving its affiliate and ad sales to G Accelerate Networks. Radio Guest Quest can provide specific celebrities or newsmakers to affiliated stations.
Owner Art Sears has been booking guests for more than two decades. He began his career as an executive producer in New York City. Sears is known for identifying and delivering celebrities and big names for morning and afternoon drive shows in almost every format.
“Art Sears and his guest interview service are the best in the business,” according to Tony Rose, host of the Tony Rose Morning Show, WDNS-FM, Bowling Green, KY, a station whose airwaves reach Nashville, Tennessee.
Rose said he’s been using Radio Guest Quest for seven years.
“We here at 98 Rock love the work Art has done over the years,” said Mesha McDonald, producer, The Morning Show with Justin, Scott & Spiegel, WIYY-FM, Baltimore, Maryland.
Radio Guest Quest has booked Jimmy Fallon, Kelly Ripa, Brian Johnson from AC/DC, Jerry O’Connell, Peter Billingsley from “Christmas Story,” Corey Feldman, Keenan Thompson, Jimmy Kimmel, Ron Howard, Kevin Costner, and more.
“Whether it’s a multiple Oscar-Winner, a perennial Grammy-Award-winning musical artist, a Hall of Fame athlete, or an emerging talent that the world has yet to hear about, Art Sears can be counted on to connect guests to radio hosts all over the country,” said Frank Mackay, President of WABC Radio’s Long Island Division.
“Radio Guest Quest is exactly the kind of top-quality service that we want in the G Accelerate portfolio,” said Jim Higgins, President & CEO of G Accelerate Networks. “It’s a pleasure to be working with Art again.”
“With G Accelerate, I know my business is in the right hands,” Sears added. “I had worked with Jim (Higgins) before and partnering with him to grow our affiliate list and revenue was a no-brainer.”
