Leadership
Bas Emons
Visionary founder
Bas Emons is the founder of GOD Media Network and GOD Radio. A broadcast executive and media entrepreneur with over two decades of experience building and directing major commercial radio stations, he recognized a critical void in today’s media landscape: the lack of news reporting that pairs uncompromising journalistic integrity with a deep, faithful understanding of Scripture. With GOD News, he bridges high-level broadcast discipline with a commitment to verified truth, regional context, and an enduring Kingdom perspective.
