Morning Meteorologist - Full Time
Someone very fortunate will soon be able to tell people about the weather—all while being able to look out over Lake Superior. You will also be part of an engaging, fun and important morning newscast.
Duluth Minnesota’s KQDS-TV, FOX 21, is looking for a Morning Meteorologist.
You will be a key member of our weekday, two-hour morning newscast.
You should like to wake up early, have the personality to work in a morning newscast environment, and also enjoy using social media to reach your viewers.
Being genuine, warm and personable is also important, as viewers are just waking up and need a good start to their day.
You will also be a key member of our weather team. We are looking for someone who is up to the challenge of forecasting the weather along the shores of a beautiful Great Lake. If you like a “7-day” that always says 70 degrees and sunny—this is not the weather position for you!
The right person will also enjoy getting out of the studio and into the community. You will be able to find and tell stories that are interesting to you and our viewers.
You will enjoy your away-from-work life more if you are into the outdoors: whether it be biking, hiking, looking at the Northern Lights, strolling along the beach or taking in the fall colors.
You should also be comfortable being in uncomfortable weather. It snows here. And people like to go sledding, downhill skiing, snowmobiling and ice fishing.
The ideal candidate has experience in television meteorology and a related college degree. Knowledge of WSI Max and AMS Certification would each be a big plus.
If this all sounds appealing—and not alarming—please send your cover letter, resume and work samples to News Director Steve Goodspeed, at sgoodspeed@kqdsfox21.tv.
Thank you, and Good Luck!
