Radio broadcaster and Christian media publisher with 100+ stations and digital distribution network
Salem Media Group operates a broadcast and digital media business anchored by 100+ owned radio stations, plus syndication to ~2,600 affiliates, alongside a Christian-focused web and publishing arm. The hiring mix is heavily sales-dominated (57% of roles), with a tech stack skewed toward production and distribution tools (Adobe suite, WideOrbit for broadcast management, YouTube/social platforms) rather than backend infrastructure — consistent with a media company optimizing for content creation and audience reach rather than software engineering. Active projects reflect a shift toward short-form content, A/B testing on watch time, and account-led growth, signaling a move from traditional radio advertising into performance-driven digital solutions.
