Together, we co-create moments that matter – both for our audiences and our employees – and aim to leave a positive mark on culture.

As a sports anchor/MSJ, you will be assigned to cover and report live stories outside the station - on location. You must write with a clear and engaging style, using video and graphics to illustrate facts and ideas in the story. You must maintain a broad understanding of all sports and ability to tell stories about athletes, teams, leagues and issues, both local and national. 

Requirements:
Must have at least six years of comparable television experience, with a minimum of 3 years as a sports anchor, working in a local market or network television news.
