During the early years, Radio Station HCJB was largely operated by Ecuadorian staff. Missionaries from other organizations frequently helped in making radio programs. For a number of years however, Clarence and Katherine Jones were the only full-time missionaries at the station.

Francisco Cruz was one of the first Ecuadorians to join the staff. Cruz was station manager for many years. Announcers Raul Cedeño and Luis Fernando Ayora became familiar voices to listeners. Local musicians and singers were an integral part of radio programming. And Victoriano Salvador had the essential task of keeping the station on the air.
