On-Air Personality, Quicksie 98.3 (WQXE-FM) | Digital Creator | Community Ambassador
Full-Time | In-Office - Elizabethtown, Kentucky
BE THE VOICE PEOPLE WAKE UP WITH—AND THE PERSONALITY THEY FOLLOW EVERYWHERE ELSE
Quicksie 98.3 (WQXE-FM) is searching for a creative, curious, and highly engaging personality to lead our weekday morning show and become one of the most visible representatives of our brand throughout Central Kentucky and Southern Indiana.
This is not a shift-only announcer position.
We are looking for a true multimedia personality who can create a compelling live radio show, build an audience through original video and social content, connect authentically with the community, and develop trusted relationships with listeners, organizations, and local businesses.
The right person will understand that the job does not end when the morning show signs off.
You will help shape Quicksie’s daily personality on the radio, on digital platforms, in the community, and in front of clients. You will have the opportunity to grow both the Quicksie brand and your own professional identity as a recognizable, credible, and influential local voice.
If you are prepared, quick on your feet, comfortable on camera, genuinely interested in people, and energized by creating content that matters locally, this could be the opportunity you have been waiting for.
ABOUT QUICKSIE 98.3 AND SKYTOWER MEDIA
Quicksie 98.3 is a locally focused radio and multimedia brand serving communities throughout 12 counties in Central Kentucky and Southern Indiana, including Elizabethtown, Fort Knox, Radcliff, Bardstown, Leitchfield, Shepherdsville, Louisville, and surrounding areas.
Quicksie is part of Skytower Media, alongside 94.3 The Wolf, Goober 95.1, and our Skytower Digital platforms.
Our audiences connect with us in the car, on mobile devices, streaming, on social media, video, on our websites and apps, and face-to-face at community events. We believe each of those platforms is important, and we expect our personalities to create meaningful experiences across all of them.
THE OPPORTUNITY
As our Morning Show Host & Multimedia Community Influencer, you will own the first conversation of the day for Quicksie listeners.
You will develop a morning show that is entertaining, timely, personality-driven, and unmistakably local. You will turn everyday community stories, listener experiences, interviews, current events, music, humor, and original ideas into content people want to hear, watch, share, and discuss.
You will also become a visible ambassador for Quicksie—building relationships throughout the region, representing the station at major events, supporting community organizations, and helping local businesses create authentic connections with our audience.
We are not looking for someone to read liners and announce songs.
We are looking for someone who can create a daily habit, build a loyal community, and make Quicksie feel essential to the people we serve.
