Tim Dukes Promoted To President At Hope Media Group

Hope Media Group has appointed Tim Dukes as the new President. Previously serving as the Chief Operating Officer (COO), Dukes will now lead the Christian radio company. Meanwhile, Joe Paulo, who held both President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) positions, will focus solely on his role as CEO.

Tim Dukes’ background in Christian radio and his experience at various stations across different cities make him well-suited for this position. The group operates not only through traditional radio stations like KSBJ Houston but also via digital platforms such as “NGEN Radio,” “Hope on Demand,” and “Amen: The Prayer App.” Their concert and event brand division adds another dimension to their outreach efforts.
