SOME CELEBRITY QUOTES:
"Because of Denise’s unique connection she has with her guests she really sets the show apart from the national programs out there. Los Angeles is not a big enough forum for "Focus In The Mix with Denise Ames". It’s time for the rest of the U.S. to pick up on what Denise is laying down. I sure wish I could see the weekly series here in New York!"

Her professionalism is second to none. She has a true passion for perfection and pays unyielding attention to details. She also shows excellent versatility and sensitivity while adapting quickly to very demanding situations. A true professional and a huge asset to any broadcasting situation! A real winner. It's only a matter of time before the rest of the world agrees."
