Job Description

KECI is looking for a full-time Anchor with a passion for impactful journalism.

This isn't just an anchor job — we're looking for a newsroom leader who thrives on collaboration, brings sharp editorial judgment, and actively contributes to the daily planning and execution of our shows. The ideal candidate will be just as comfortable on the anchor desk as they are digging into an investigative lead.

We want someone with a strong on-air presence, a reporter's instincts, and a desire to deliver in-depth, high-impact stories that make a difference in our community. You should be comfortable producing regular content, developing sources, and using public records to hold the powerful accountable.

Success in this role also means embracing innovation, engaging audiences on social media, and working closely with producers, reporters, and photojournalists to elevate storytelling across platforms.

If you're competitive, collaborative, and committed to journalism with purpose — we want to hear from you.

The ideal candidate will have:

  • Strong Leadership skills
  • Smooth/pleasant delivery
  • Strong writing skills and news judgment
  • Sharp video shooting and editing skills
  • Exemplary communication skills

Requirements and Qualifications:

  • You must have at least 2 years of on-air experience
