Live Streaming Host Jobs in Spring, TX (NOW HIRING)

Description

Join a company that truly impacts others!

Hope Media Group is a multi-brand ministry. Every story we share, every event we host, and every song we play is done to engage people to love Jesus, serve others, and spread Hope. 

Hope Media Group the home of KSBJ, WayFM, Vida Unida and NGEN radio.

We invite you to apply for our Network Music Director position in New Caney, TX (Greater Houston, TX area) and be a part of our growing ministry to Love Jesus, Serve Others, and Spread Hope. Our team describes our environment as fun, encouraging, collaborative, engaging, caring, family oriented, and friendly. We would love for you to join us and be part of what God is doing in our ministry! 

Job Summary:

We're building something new at Hope Media Group. As we grow across platforms and brands - including the legacy of KSBJ and the national reach of WayFM, we're not just maintaining music programming... we're reimagining it.

We're looking for a future-focused Network Music Director who doesn't just love music, but understands its power to shape lives, build tribes, and drive listener loyalty across broadcast and digital. You'll need to think beyond linear clocks and typical radio rules. The future of music curation blends art, science, and technology - and you'll help lead us there!

This isn't a one-size-fits-all playlist. You'll protect and evolve the unique sound and spiritual heartbeat of each brand - from the Houston-rooted KSBJ to the nationwide WayFM audience. We believe in the distinct identities of our brands, and music strategy plays a central role in maintaining and celebrating those differences. Every song matters, every rotation has a reason, and every listener deserves a soundtrack that feels made just for them.

If you're energized by the idea of innovating in a space where playlisting meets purpose... where we use data, instinct, and faith to build formats that move people... and where streams and stations live side-by-side in harmony - this might be your moment.
