The individual will be a true chameleon who is equally comfortable in the field and in the studio. A few days per week, this person will be roving in the field at entertainment and community events in the Puget Sound region.

They should be able to handle impromptu moments on TV naturally, and be flexible with the way morning TV can change at a moment's notice. The reporter/host should be equally adept at hosting live and taped programs from a studio and using TelePrompTer. Even though this role is not primarily a hard news role, a strong understanding of journalistic tenants is required.
