Beginning in 1995 Quist-Arcton began work in the United States of America for the joint BBC-PRI production The World. After briefly returning to BBC World Service, in 1998 Quist-Arcton was appointed co-host of the South African Broadcasting Corporation's flagship radio drive-time show PM Live in Johannesburg. She returned to the BBC in 2000 as an Africa correspondent.

She reports on Africa, covering all aspects of life and developments on the continent. Quist-Arcton was awarded the 2015 Edward R.
