Born and raised in Chilliwack, Melanie studied Theatre & Communications at the University of the Fraser Valley before taking her mother’s advice: “Find something you’re good at, that you love to do and then figure out a way to get paid for it…and it’s gotta be legal.” Radio it was!
After graduating from Pacific Radio Arts, Melanie Green started in 1988 in Victoria at CKDA and CFMS with Capital Broadcasting as a writer and news announcer. Just over a year later, she returned to her hometown’s local station in Chilliwack. From creative writer to news anchor, then mid-day on-air announcer, Melanie worked her way up in the business.
She married her husband in the summer of 1992, and they moved to Vancouver. After a brief radio hiatus, Melanie returned with Fraser Valley Broadcasters in 1994, working in both Abbotsford and Chilliwack on-air. In 1999 she moved over to sales, quickly moving up to the Sales Manager and later to General/Operations Manager of the Fraser Valley radio stations. In January 2016, she was promoted to General Sales Manager of both the Fraser Valley and Victoria stations.
Melanie recently celebrated her 25th anniversary with Rogers Media; she is currently the GSM of STAR 98.3 and Country 107.1. With over 30 years in small/medium market radio, her well-rounded career has given her the unique ability to see the business from every angle, motivating and leading her sales teams to grow clients and relationships, all while driving revenue.
In her personal life, Melanie loves to curl and travel. She and her husband, Greg, have scratched off 28 countries on their travel map. Married in July 1992, they have three adult children and recently moved to back to Chilliwack in October 2020 with their two dogs. Melanie looks forward to working with the Ann Davis Transition Society and their incredible work within our community, providing education, prevention and support services for those affected by abuse or violence.
