Chris Byrnes is the President of the company and a broadcaster with 40 years international experience. He started behind the microphone and worked his way up the chain to Program Director, Group Program Director and eventually ownership.
His funny accent comes from New Zealand, by the way, where he was a founding shareholder of the More FM Group and was an active part of the management team that built one of the most successful and profitable groups in the South Pacific. He acted as the Group PD for the 12-station chain until its sale in 1997.
He moved to Canada with his family in January 1998 and took up a position as Corporate Program Director for a group of radio stations until he formed ByrnesMedia in 2000.
He is the only Canadian-based consultant who also owns radio stations which includes 104.7 Heart FM in Woodstock, CJED Niagara Falls, and  CFLZ Fort Erie.
