General Manager / Vice President

Job Description

General Manager / Vice President - KMVT

About KMVT:

Twin Falls is home to Shoshone Falls, which is 45' taller than Niagara Falls, and is only a ten-minute drive from the television station. The Perrine Bridge, which crosses over the Snake River, is the only man-made structure where BASE jumping is legal. This bridge is almost 500' above the Snake River itself! Within an hour and a half drive of the station, you'll find four ski mountains, the City of Rocks National Reserve, Craters of the Moon National Monument, 48' tall Balanced Rock, the Shoshone Ice Caves, Bruneau Sand Dunes, Jackpot, Nevada and too many unique hiking trails to count. If you are an outdoorsy person, I promise, you will not be bored! Of course, you will find any big-time retail store that you would anywhere else around the country, as well as a growing downtown region that continues to add new local businesses/restaurants.
