Quest Broadcasting Inc. is a Philippine radio broadcasting company, containing offices and broadcast headquarters located in Metro Manila. It operates nine radio stations under the Magic Nationwide brand, which is composed of its flagship radio station Magic 89.9 in Metro Manila and throughout the Visayas and Mindanao area.

Quest Broadcasting is wholly owned by the company's president Atty. Jose Luis "Bobet" Vera, through a majority stake.

History[]

The company was originally established in 1986 as the SBS Radio Network Inc. (SBS being Sarao Broadcasting Systems) where it had the Las Piñas-based Sarao family,[citation needed] well known for its manufacture of Jeepneys,[citation needed] and the Vera family (original owners of FBS Radio Network) as venture partners.

In 1992, Luis and Leonida Vera's eldest son, Atty. Jose Luis Vera ("Bobet"), took full control of the network and renamed the SBS Radio Network as Quest Broadcasting Incorporated, in which it remains to this day.[1][2]
