KMSP-TV in Minneapolis/St. Paul is seeking a Sports Reporter/Host.
If you’ve read this far, we don’t have to tell you: Local TV sports departments are shrinking, not adding.
Well, not here at FOX 9/KMSP in Minneapolis/St. Paul. We are THE local television sports leader in the Twin Cities and growing every year. Just look at our line-up card:
- We are the Official Home of the Minnesota Vikings. From the Draft to Training Camp, preseason to post-season…we do partnership shows with the Vikings Entertainment Network year around. Check us out by searching “Vikings Game Day Live” or “Vikings Postgame Tonight” on You Tube.
- We have a marquee official partnership with the University of Minnesota. It’s “The PJ Fleck Show”, with the nationally known coach, for 5 months out of the year. And we don’t care whether Gophers are on our air or not, we do a football pre-game show every week. After football season, we turn our attention to Gopher men’s and women’s basketball along with hockey.
- Twins or Timberwolves make the playoffs? Live, in the field sports shows are a gimme. AAA Baseball is on FOX 9+ with the St. Paul Saints.
- And 52 weeks a year we produce 3 live weekend sports shows. That’s in addition to live sports segments in just about every newscast.
So how do you make our team?
- BE a highly motivated sports JOURNALIST, not a highlight reader. Break sports stories that others will follow.
- KNOW how to produce your own content on linear and digital. That’s not just a 3 minute sports segment. Know how lay out a show rundown and get it on the air.
- DELIVER on the air in a compelling and conversational manner. Shout at the camera? Not a good fit for us.
