Moody Broadcasting Network (MBN), a branch of the Moody Bible Institute in Chicago, has named Wayne Pederson vice president. Pederson will oversee and lead network programming for all of Moody's radio properties and ministries, including MBN affiliates, and 35 owned and operated stations.

Pederson most recently served as station manager of MBN's flagship station WMBI in Chicago, and has more than three decades of broadcasting experience. He also has served as president of Mission America and special assistant to the president of Bethel University.

“Content is vital in the changing landscape of radio broadcasting,” Pederson said. “Shouldn't it be even more so for us? We have the greatest content-the gospel. It's my desire that when people listen to Moody radio, whether it's a song, a message or an interview, they'll experience God in a real and practical way.”
