Sports Multimedia Journalist

This is your chance to cover sports like the big guys. With historic Lambeau Field just 90 minutes away, we treat the Packers as our hometown team, because they are HUGE in the state of Wisconsin. Not only will you have the chance to cover NFL, but occasionally cover the Bucks and Badgers as well. But this job is so much more than our outstanding and thorough Packers coverage. We have a large, and passionate prep sports scene in Central Wisconsin, one that people in our viewing areas love to see covered on our air waves. We’re looking for someone who can find stories that will resonate with our viewers, that will stick in our memories, and that will make our communities proud to support their teams. You won’t be just shooting highlights night after night. You’ll be challenged to find these unique stories that have helped us become the number one station in the market.
