“Cary has been an active hands-on executive in radio for years, but his last eight years at Hearst Television prepared him well for the burgeoning OTT television market,” said Boyce. “In Cary we have a strong experienced General Manager, who will help us get SNC to the next level. Cary was ready for the next adventure in his long and storied career, and we are extremely fortunate to have that opportunity to give him.”

Pahigian will supervise all elements of production on the network including talent, content, sales, marketing, and social media.

"I have long admired Salem Media Group's unique culture and dedication to community service, quality content and client partnerships,” said Pahigian. “Salem News Channel has put Salem Media Group front and center in the fast growing video streaming arena with a lineup of prominent hosts and straightforward news and analysis."
