ABOUT US

Military Broadcast Radio (MBR) is a nonprofit media organization dedicated to giving Veterans, First Responders, and their families a voice, a community, and a place to rediscover purpose.

Military Broadcast Radio was founded on May 18, 2005, under the leadership of Jim Butler. In 2018, Joel Hunt was entrusted with carrying the MBR legacy forward, and Military Broadcast Radio became a nonprofit organization that same year.

Today, MBR uses broadcasting, podcasting, video, music, gaming, and digital media as tools for connection, training, rehabilitation, and personal growth. We help Veterans and First Responders learn broadcasting and podcasting skills, set up equipment, develop their own shows, and build the confidence to share their stories and perspectives with audiences around the world.

At MBR, we believe a microphone can be more than a piece of equipment. It can provide someone with a voice, a mission, a community, and a renewed sense of purpose.

Our network continues to grow while staying focused on the reason MBR exists: helping Veterans, First Responders, and their families connect, create, learn, and be heard.

Giving Veterans a Voice.
