New York,NY
Audacy,Inc.
DESCRIPTION
If you love New York, think like a New Yorker, and understand how to write, deliver, and explain the news to the most demanding audience in the world, then let's talk. 1010 WINS on 92.3 FM is seeking to fill one of the most coveted jobs in the business: morning drive news anchor. It is a position that has opened up twice in 60 years. We want someone who has impeccable journalism credentials, plays every story down the middle, writes the way people speak, can turn a phrase into memorable moments, and who isn't boxed into the way news was delivered in the 'good old days.'
In addition:
We want someone who isn't afraid of getting up at 3 am, loves collaborating and contributing to a newsroom filled with massively creative people, and sees stories everywhere they look. We want proactive engagement on our digital platforms, daily posts on social media, and a strong understanding of how all of our news assets should be integrated to achieve our goals. We don't want out of control egos, toxic flame throwers, or someone who can't match the energy of NYC and a demanding 24/7 news operation.
If you have been waiting your entire career for an opportunity like this, rush your stuff over because this opportunity may not be available again for another 30 years.
The anticipated starting salary range for New York, NY based individuals expressing interest in this position is $136,000/yr – $190,000/yr.
Salary to be determined by the education, experience, knowledge, skills, abilities and location of the applicant, as well as internal and external equity.
