Currently these stations are understaffed and we need good leadership going in to help build a staff to deliver the kind of full service local radio, that our other markets have a history of producing.

As program director, your roll is to build a staff… plan, direct, and monitor that staff to hit and exceed our desired levels of content and community connection. You’ll have an on-air shift (most likely mornings) and will produce local commercials, assign other production responsibilities to staff, attend station events and do remote broadcasts, maintain station on-air image, and all of the other duties that come with producing local full service radio.

While most stations are reducing staff size and replacing on-air announcers with automation and out of market voice tracking… we have been going the opposite direction in our company for many years. We have doubled the size of our staff in the last 10 years (all prior to acquiring this new market)… and will continue to do the same in this and future markets. Full service radio is a full time job, and it takes a lot of quality people that are passionate about radio.

You need to have previous on-air experience (in commercial radio), knowledge of automation software (we are currently looking at upgrading the current system), extensive computer knowledge and literacy in editing audio and file management, lead the staff in updating company website with news and other local information, help create and maintain our social media presence, and be a team player that is ready to lead by example.

We are looking for someone to come in and learn our systems and implement them throughout the station group… we will build slow and maintain a steady growth path for on-air / content personnel to match our growing sales department.

We offer competitive benefits with retirement and insurance.

We are an Equal Opportunity Employer.

1. Radio has weathered the techno-storm better than any other media.

2. Following a brief flirtation with the iPod, Americans returned en masse to broadcast radio for exposure to new music and breaking news.

3. You can close your eyes, but you cannot close your ears.

4. How many hours a week do you spend driving?

5. World-class radio ads are cheap to produce.

6. It costs big bucks to look good on TV.

7. A modest budget for a national advertiser to produce a 30-second TV ad is $350,000.  Your TV ads, by comparison, will always look “homemade.”

8. But national advertisers have no advantage over local advertisers on radio.

9. Advertising agencies can’t pay the bills by producing radio ads. Their profitability – indeed their very existence – depends on their ability to steer advertisers into high production-cost ventures: television and direct mail.

10. The smart place for local advertising is usually on the radio.
