Tom Sullivan

Atlanta emcee Tom Sullivan entered radio immediately upon leaving high school where he landed the job as Quixie Quackerfor one of America’s greatest radio stations, 79 WQXI  (Home of the Gary McKee morning show with Willis the Guard.)  “Getting a job at WQXI was an unbelievable dream for me” says Tom.  Tom hosted every show on WQXI then worked his way over to 94-Q  (WQXI-FM) eventually landing the night show on the revamped Star 94 FM (WSTR-FM.)

It was during this time Tom discovered Ryan Seacrest. “Ryan and I became friends.  I saw the same passion and talent for broadcasting in Ryan that I had in myself.” says Sullivan.  Tom eventually put Ryan on the air for the first broadcast of his now famous radio career.  Tom’s personality allowed him to easily  transition to the morning show with Steve McCoy and Vikki Locke where he entertained the masses on their morning commute.

While working in radio Tom became a host on NBC Television’s “Atlanta & Company“,  a daily one hour show he hosted with Holly Firfer.  During this time Sullivan became nominated for an Emmy award as Outstanding On Camera Talent and Performer. “I was thrilled to receive the recognition and grateful for the experience of working along side Holly who helped me learn the dynamics of hosting a television show” says Tom.
