Libby will be commissioned by the organization to become its fourth president on Dec. 1, succeeding David G. Tucker, who stepped down from his position earlier this year.

When asked about his future with Trans World Radio, Libby said, "I'm looking forward to an exciting future with the Board of Directors, staff and donors of TWR.

"From a Christian media standpoint, TWR is positioned to touch most of the world with the good news of Jesus," he added. "That's TWR's calling: To go to the whole world with the gospel for the whole person."

A member of the Board of Directors for the National Religious Broadcasters, the Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability and Northwestern College, Libby is also president and CEO of New Horizons Foundation – a public charity designed to help donors accomplish their giving objectives in education, research, humanitarian aid, religion and health-related areas. Additionally, he co-founded Educational Communications of Colorado Springs, which comprises 15 radio stations and 28 translators. He also served previously on the board of the Christian Stewardship Association.

A farmer's son from northern Kansas, Libby holds a Bachelor of Science degree from Kansas State University and a Master's degree in Business Administration from Regis University. He and his wife, June, have one adult son.
