Primary Job Description:

As a studio producer the main aspect of this position will be to manage the radio board during high school sports games like football or basketball. You do not need any prior experience in the radio industry or an advanced knowledge of sports to fill this position. We are looking for someone with an interest in radio or sports who is open to learning. We will train you on everything you need to know to for this job and future positions!

During an average night you will handle getting the sports announcers on the air, managing the ads and breaks in between the sports broadcast, recording the game and interviews, editing the game audio, writing a post-game recap, and updating the station website.

This job will teach you about recording and editing audio, professional writing, and give you technical operation skills, plus you’ll gain soft skills like troubleshooting, critical thinking, and a detail oriented attitude. After working for us you’ll have a strong foundation in a multi-media industry including experience in both radio and digital. You’ll be a published writer with experience using the world’s leading content management system, WordPress. You’ll have learned to create and update website content on top of the radio and audio aspects of this job.

This position may also include helping produce advertising by voicing ads, writing scripts, or editing audio into a complete spot. Other opportunities related to this position include becoming on-air talent with your own radio show.

This position is ideal for a college student or someone looking for a part-time job primarily in the evenings with rare but occasional hours on the weekends for playoff games or specials.
