About Joe + Kelly

For Charlotte natives, Joe Paulo is the former General Manager of what was New Life 91.9 before K-LOVE/Air1 purchased the radio station from Columbia International University in 2014, the same year Joe completed his Masters of Business Administration from Liberty University. God would use Joe to rise to a call he could never imagine. Joe would go on to serve KLOVE/Air1 in California until 2018 when he prayerfully accepted the call of Chief Executive Officer of Hope Media Group in Houston, TX. During this time, Hope Media Group has extended its media offerings to include a growing podcast network, digital content brand Hope Nation, the God Listens prayer app, branded music apps NGEN and Way Loud, plus a multi-market event production and promotion arm. Joe led through the historic merger of two highly successful nonprofits that resulted in Hope Media Group bringing together the national radio network WayFM and the largest
Christian radio station in America, KSBJ in Houston.

 

In less than two years from launch, HMG’s newest media platform, the Spanish-language radio network, Vida Unida, is now
reaching 3 of the nation's 4 largest Spanish-speaking markets: Houston, Miami, and New
York City. With an extensive background in media and leadership, Joe began at KSBJ (now
Hope Media Group) as Vice-President of Operations in 2017 after serving at Educational
Media Foundation (K-LOVE/Air1) and Columbia International University.

 

Joe has also provided volunteer leadership at the board of director and advisory levels for other
nonprofits such as Youth Commission International, Christian Music Broadcasters, and
Crime Stoppers of Houston. His MBA is from Liberty University in 2014.
In addition to being a wife and mom, Kelly homeschooled their children for over 20 years.
