Sports Multimedia Journalist
We may be a small market station, but we cover sports like the big guys. With historic Lambeau Field just 90 minutes away, we treat the Packers as our hometown team, because they are HUGE in the state of Wisconsin. Your job as a sports reporter/anchor in this office will put you in the locker room with Aaron Rodgers, Davante Adams, and more. But this job is so much more than our outstanding and thorough Packers coverage. We have a large, and passionate prep sports scene in Central Wisconsin, one that people in our viewing area love to see covered on our airwaves. We're looking for someone who can find stories that will resonate with our viewers, that will stick in our memories, and that will make our communities proud to support their teams. You won't be just shooting highlights night after night. You'll be challenged to find these unique stories that have helped us become the number one station in the market. If you're passionate about sports and storytelling, this is the job for you.
Plus, you get to work for a family owned company and live in a gorgeous part of the country 10 minutes away from lakes, rivers, snow, golf, a ski resort and more.
Essential duties and responsibilities:
- Shoot and edit sports content for broadcast
- Write content for website
- Ability to set up and execute live shots
- Find and pitch interesting and captivating stories to our local market
