If you love sports, understand the value of significant geographic coverage, live for play-by-play and want to oversee programming that entertains thousands, this is your opportunity — send your resume, cover letter, writing samples, and mp3 audio of on-air work to VP/Market Manager Dan Cash at dan.cash@mwcradio.com.
• The newsroom at WTAQ in Northeast Wisconsin is evolving. The lines between radio news, digital news, and social media have blurred, creating an amazing opportunity. That’s where you come in.

Not only will you be delivering news on our radio stations, you’ll be the face of our digital products — hosting and anchoring segments on our website and social channels will be a big part of this position. The ability to be on camera, talk to people, gather news, produce audio, shoot and edit video, write great teases and news copy (for all platforms), blog, podcast, and the ability to tell a great story are all important in this role. We are looking for someone to help us shape the future of news at WTAQ. Are you in?
