Job Description
KUTV is looking for a dynamic full-time Morning Anchor/Reporter. This is a unique role, with many facets:
• During our #1-rated morning show, you will anchor the Live Desk. The Live Desk is a critical position that addresses breaking news wherever it happens, whenever it happens. Your role is to find the breaking news, produce the segment, then coordinate with the show producers on getting it into the show as soon as possible.
• After the Morning show, you will co-anchor ARC Salt Lake. ARC is a new show blending news, entertainment, and personality. ARC is Authentic, Relevant, Community- and you'll be a key player in fulfilling that mission. When the show is off the air at 9am, the rest of your morning will be setting up shoots and stories for ARC. The sky is the limit with ARC- you will not find a position that allows for more creativity anywhere else!
• This is a position where you are highly involved with every aspect of the show. If you are looking for a role where you only come in and read the news, this is not the position for you.
In addition to being an outstanding journalist with a great personality, you need to be a team leader. Our anchors are leaders who participate in the planning of our shows and produce content regularly. A competitive passion to win and openness to innovation is mandatory! Our winning candidate will be someone who embraces social media and knows how to consistently engage with the audience. Collaboration is a big part of this role!
The ideal candidate will have:
• Strong Leadership skills
• Smooth/pleasant delivery
• Strong reporting skills and news judgment
• Exemplary communication skills
• A strong ability to work independently.
Requirements and Qualifications:
• You must have at least 5 years of on-air experience
• Live commercial television experience is a must
• Strong ''in-the-field and live'' skills
• Exceptional written communications skills using a conversational writing style
• Strong editorial judgment and a proven ethical foundation
