WCOV-TV, Montgomery’s FOX Affiliate, is seeking an individual to anchor our live one-hour sports program, The Score. This program airs Monday through Friday from 6:00am to 7:00am.
Position Requirements

• Sports program host experience and skills to achieve viewer engagement and a high-quality on-air product. Planning, rehearsal, and the ability to ad-lib while on air to keep the program running smoothly is required.
• Content creation including interviews, videos, research, and reporting sports related issues and events.
• Ability to converse in a broad range of sports in order to set up and schedule interviews with guests (live, telephone, phone calls, etc.).
• Strong interpersonal skills to interact with local sports representatives from high schools, colleges, and when possible, professional sports public relations personnel.
• Excellent writing and communication skills are needed. Interaction with program guests, station clients, and public viewership is a critical element of the job.
• The ideal candidate is a self-starter that can be turned loose on projects, works well on collaborative projects; one who takes criticism well and brainstorms well with others. Ideal candidate strives to both create the best work they are capable of each time and continuously learns to become even more capable.

Due to the unique job requirements of this position, the status is independent contractor, rather than employee status. Hours of work begin early! This position requires flexibility to accommodate production schedules and deadlines. WCOV will provide a program producer and multiple sources of sports content.
