In the late 1980s, Bertel moved to the Washington, D.C. area where he became the executive producer for the Voice of America. In the early 1990s, Bertel worked for two years in Munich, heading VOA Europe, the Voice of America's pop music service aimed at western European listeners. Returning to Washington, he created Talk to America, a call-in show heard internationally.
Having recently retired from Voice of America, Bertel now resides in a Maryland suburb of Washington, D.C.
