| Michael Spears is a 40
year media veteran. In radio, he owned, programmed and performed on-air
broadcasts in North America's top markets: Los Angeles, Dallas, Chicago,
Tampa, and even Canada! He has consulted over 30 radio stations and
groups in 5 different formats from rock to R&B to all news radio. He is
the winner of Billboard Magazine's Programmer of the Year and Station of
the Year 3 times in multiple formats more than any other broadcaster.
His experience reaches across the spectrum with a wide range of
contacts, so necessary in the media business. In television production, Spears has written over 150 episodes for a half-hour weekly syndicated program for Fox Television and co-produced a youth news magazine series for the USA Television Network. He has produced literally hundreds of radio and television commercials and news segments. Michael is past President of the Press Club of Dallas. Spears produced the first satellite network radio broadcast from Australia for the USA Bicentennial celebration in 1976. Since that time, he produced live broadcasts from all over America and even London. He is one of the original co-creators of The Amber Plan, an instant radio alert system in conjunction with law enforcement, to warn the public of missing children. In 2002, this program was honored by The National Association of Broadcasters with the distinguished Service to America award. He is often called to testify as an expert witness in media matters. In the live event arena, he has produced business conferences, consumer fairs, reunions, theatrical musical events, award ceremonies, and outdoor concerts. Spears often performs as an emcee, public speaker or electronic media actor. At age 15, he won the Texas State Champion Magician competition. His latest venture is The Beam, a diversified media company headquartered in Dallas syndicating, consulting and producing national radio and television programs.
