About the job

Sports Anchor / Reporter / MMJ

If you’re passionate about sports, thrive on breaking stories, and know how to connect with audiences beyond the final score, WZTV wants to hear from you.

We’re looking for an experienced Sports Anchor/Reporter/MMJ who is equal parts storyteller, journalist, and content creator. This is an opportunity to cover everything from the big games and marquee athletes to the compelling stories that unite communities through sports. If you love enterprise reporting, can own a story from pitch to air, and are energized by creating content across multiple platforms, you’ll fit right in.

In this role, you’ll:

Anchor and report on sports across newscasts and digital platforms.

Produce compelling daily content for broadcast, online, and social media.

Develop original story ideas that go beyond highlights and scores.

Shoot, write, edit, and deliver impactful sports stories from start to finish.

Work collaboratively with photographers when safety or logistics require it, while regularly shooting and editing your own content.

Excel in a fast-paced newsroom, meeting deadlines while working a flexible schedule that includes evenings and weekends.

We’re looking for someone who:

Is a strong writer with a sharp sense of storytelling.

Brings creativity, curiosity, and fresh ideas to every assignment.

Is a self-starter who consistently generates enterprise stories and breaks sports stories in the market.

Communicates effectively and collaborates well with colleagues across the newsroom.

Understands how to create content that resonates with both passionate sports fans and everyday news viewers.

This is not a scores-and-highlights position. We’re looking for a journalist who can uncover meaningful stories, build sources, and produce memorable sports coverage that stands out.

Qualifications

At least 3 years of on-air anchoring experience .

Professional sports journalism experience in a commercial broadcast station is required; this is not an entry-level role.

Extensive sports knowledge and a proven ability to deliver engaging sports coverage.

Experience working collaboratively in a newsroom environment.

Strong live reporting skills and confidence covering breaking sports news.

Demonstrated ability to shoot and edit your own stories.

Podcasting experience is a plus and may strengthen your application.
