• Perform functions supporting a daily on-air radio show and associated content with demonstrated organization, planning, preparation, creativity and imagination, helping the hosts establish a strong relationship with the audience.
• Create and grow content on other platforms, such as social media, podcasts, blogs, video and web.
• Demonstrate aptitude and attitude to work in a fast and accurate manner under pressure.
• Stay socially informed and perceptive; up-to-date and in tune daily with local and national trends and/or specialized knowledge of topics/events related to on-air discussions.
• Possess basic computer and software skills and have basic knowledge of social media platforms, and have capacity to learn new systems quickly.
• Work in compliance with Company policies and procedures as well as FCC guidelines, and help protect the licenses of our stations.
