The KHCB Media Group has named Jonathan Obien, who brings experience with broadcast and digital infrastructure at multiple Christian radio networks, as its senior director of technology.
It’s a new position within the regional Christian radio network that is heard on 63 stations across Texas, Arkansas, Florida, Louisiana and Oklahoma.
Prior to joining KHCB, Obien was national operations director for Moody Radio and Media in Chicago, with six years of work overall for the national Christian radio network.
He also worked more than a decade for the Educational Media Foundation, parent of K-Love and Air 1, including as EMF’s manager of studio technology from 2014–2019.
At both stops, Obien was credited with leading a charge to IP-centric infrastructure. Obien has also offered both consulting and design services.
“Jonathan brings both depth of experience and a thoughtful, servant-minded approach to leadership,” said KHCB President Scott Krus.
KHCB also lauded Obien for his faith-centered family life with his wife, Melissa, and their four children.
