Morning Show Anchor

WKOW-TV in beautiful Madison, Wisconsin, has an immediate opening for a morning show anchor for our Monday - Friday newscast, Wake Up Wisconsin. This anchor would also produce and anchor our midday newscast, which airs statewide at 11 a.m.

We are looking for an energetic journalist who greets each day with a smile, determination to win and a team attitude. Our anchors are newsroom leaders who help mentor and grow producers and reporters.

Our anchors excel at covering breaking news and use social media to engage with and respond to the community. They are active anchors who write and edit scripts with conversational communication in mind, post stories to our website and social media platforms and make calls on breaking news.

In addition to anchoring, we’re looking for a journalist who knows how to produce a newscast and who isn’t afraid to head out into the field and break big stories when needed.

Leading candidates will have a degree in Broadcast Journalism, Communications or a related field and at least 3 years of broadcast experience.

Applicants must successfully pass a background screening.

If you qualify, please send your resume and demo reel to:
