CNBC is a great place to book your business experts. Gloria McDonough-Taub is the chief booker, 201-735-2622.

Family friendly and aimed primarily at women, Doug Stephan's syndicated radio show, "Good Day" offers authors and entertainment figures an opportunity to reach people in 450 markets.

Producer Beth Brelje can be pitched via email at beth@dougstephan.com.

Another high-end men's lifestyle magazine? Yes, it's a quarterly called Vitals targeting 25 - 35 year olds. Products and services that help you look good, feel good and have fun are what Editor Joe Zee wants to hear about, 212-630-3539.
