Rare AM Anchor Opening At WTOP/DC
• Hubbard Radio’s mighty WTOP/Washington is now actively seeking a new morning drive news anchor, as current AM anchor Michelle Basch (left) announced her intention to step away after nearly two decades on the job and relocate out-of-state.
That news was delivered in a staff memo by WTOP Director of News and Programming Julia Ziegler, which reads, in part, “Anyone who knows Michelle Basch, knows how much she and her husband Mike adore their cabin in Pennsylvania. Michelle and Mike have decided to move there full-time in the Spring, which means Michelle will be leaving WTOP after nearly two decades.
The good news? Michelle will continue to anchor AM Drive through the end of the year. She will then do some reporting for us until she and Mike are fully moved to PA. Michelle’s passion for news, commitment to excellence and drive to ‘first get it right, then get it first’ will be greatly missed in this newsroom.”
In closing, Ziegler said, “We will miss Michelle dearly… so I’m glad we get some more time with her before she and Mike head off to PA.”
This prime WTOP Anchor position is now posted HERE (#25-1294) — killer candidates are urged to apply today — this is your big chance to be able to work inside WTOP’s legendary “Jim Farley Glass Enclosed Nerve Center.” EOE.
