Bob Carey, President of SSI,
stated, "The pet industry is a $41 billion industry and
Harrison Forbes is one of America's top experts in the
field. It's rare that a legitimate radio star whose
focus is a $41 billion mega industry becomes available
and our respect for Harrison's accomplishments as well
as his passion and work ethics clearly attracted us to
him. If you're a station decision maker who's seeking
compelling talk radio with passion and personality that
will bring in significant local sponsorship dollars….PET
TALK WITH HARRISON FORBES is your show. Harrison's high
profile and multi-media platform clearly illustrates
that he's the real deal. The SSI team and I are truly
excited to be aligning with Harrison and together
growing his radio successes with strong affiliates and
sponsors across America."
Harrison Forbes commented "I am
very excited about my partnership with SSI and taking
the show national. Of all the media platforms I'm
associated with, radio is the one medium where I can
truly connect with the audience one-on-one. The Pet
Industry is a $41 billon marketplace but yet few radio
stations are tapping this lucrative market which is
mindboggling. I'm sure a primary reason for this is 'Ask
the Vet' type of talk is stale and can't hook all
listeners. My show is very different in that it does
equally well with both women and men while appealing to
every age group. The program is best described as
entertaining and diverse, informative and topical,
compelling and consistent. Also mixed in regularly are
celebrity guests talking about their pets, recurring pet
experts and phone calls from listeners to create a truly
unique show that's contemporary and fun. I'm very pro
advertiser and have a healthy respect for ensuring the
success of our affiliates. I have full confidence in the
plan SSI has developed to propel the syndication growth
of my brand and program and look forward to starting on
June 21st."
