JOB TITLE: Sports Reporter/Anchor
JOB REFERRAL #: 614
EXPERIENCE AND SKILLS NECESSARY: Do you have a passion for sports and storytelling? Dream of living, working, and playing by the beach? If so, WWAY News wants YOU to be part of our award-winning team!
WWAY, the ABC, CBS, and CW affiliate serving coastal southeastern North Carolina, is looking for a Sports Reporter/Anchor to bring dynamic local sports coverage to our community.
What You’ll Do:
· Pitch, shoot, write, and edit compelling sports stories for broadcast and digital platforms.
· Anchor and report on local sports segments during newscasts.
· Produce our weekly high school football highlight show in the fall and weekly high school basketball highlight show in the winter.
· Engage with our audience through social media, web content, and community events.
· Cover local sports, including UNC Wilmington athletics, high school teams, and the lifestyle sports that make the Cape Fear region a top destination—golf, tennis, surfing, and more!
If you want to do highlights of games anyone could find on SportsCenter or work bankers’ hours, this is NOT the job for you.
You'll need strong storytelling and writing skills, the ability to stay on top of developing sports stories and schedules, schedule flexibility to include weekends, and a positive, professional attitude. Previous professional, full-time on-air experience is preferred. Anchoring, ENPS and Edius experience are a plus. You MUST possess a valid driver's license and good driving record. You must include a demo reel with your resume.
OTHER INFORMATION E-mail resumes and a demo reel to Marcy Cuevas, News Director, at [email protected] and make sure to mention where you saw the listing.
