KSBJ Fills APD / MD Position

Hope Media Group welcomes Chris Pickett to KSBJ/Houston as the station’s new Assistant Program Director and Music Director.

Pickett replaces Bryan Harada who returned to KXBS/St Louis (BOOST RADIO 95.5) in January this year as Program Director.  

“We’re thrilled to welcome Chris to the team,” said Randy Fox, Program Director for KSBJ. “With many years of programming and on-air experience, he brings both a passion for music and God that will be a huge asset to not only KSBJ but Hope Media Group.”

Chris, who is new to Christian Radio, has a long and respected radio career in programming and on-air. More than just a broadcasting professional, Chris also brings a sincere heart for God and a desire to use his gifts to inspire and uplift others.

Pickett most recently exited his role as Director of Content/OM for Townsquare Media/Boise after the position was phased out. He previously spent 16 years with iHeartMedia, including roles as PD in Las Vegas and OM in Tucson, later becoming Regional SVP of Programming overseeing Las Vegas, El Paso, and Tucson. Earlier, he was OM and PD of KVUU/Colorado Springs and KKLI, and before that, he programmed KCLD/St. Cloud, MN.

Chris expressed his excitement for this new chapter: “I would like to thank Joe Paulo, Tim Dukes, Randy Fox, Jeff Evans, Scott Herrold, and the entire team at Hope Media Group for the opportunity to live out my faith both at home and at work. My family and I can’t wait to get to Houston and be a part of KSBJ’s mission to love Jesus, serve others, and spread hope!”

Chris will start at KSBJ Monday May 19th.
