Company Executives

Pacific Radio Group is successful because there are more than 70 employees who share the same basic philosophy about operational excellence and customer focus. People who listen to their listeners and work with their advertisers. People who find new and innovative ways to bring local flavor to their stations and meaningful contributions to their local communities.

We operate our stations with the same philosophies and integrity that we started with in 1984. And that includes how we encourage and reward our people. Pacific Radio Group believes in hiring from within the company. Entrepreneurship and initiative are rewarded with opportunities for growth and responsibility. This philosophy holds true from bottom to top, from an intern to our President, Chuck Bergson.

The people that interact with the listeners are certainly the most well known in the community. And Pacific Radio Group has a stable of high profile personalities that are known not only locally, but Island-wide.
