Website Saga - Jonesboro Media Group

Saga CommunicationsJonesboro Media Group (Jonesboro, Arkansas – 75 miles NW of Memphis, 145 miles NE of Little Rock) is searching for a vibrant, energetic program director and afternoon drive personality for KDXY (104.9 The Fox).

As program director, you will work with veteran programmer and operations manager Mitch Mahan overseeing the biggest radio station in the market with a long history of big audience and big revenue. Within a few weeks or months we’ll want to be able to hear your mark on-the-air when listening to The Fox.

You will host a LIVE afternoon show. You might even be asked to occasionally do a fill-in voice track on one of our other five radio stations.

You will make on-location appearances – yes we still do live remote broadcasts with flashing lights and loud music. You might even help serve hot dogs from our gigantic Big Fox Grill (BFG) or serve frozen treats from our Pleezer Freezer.

You will get plugged-in to our community hosting events and helping run our town. Our company helps run this town, so you will help run it.

Vibrant and high-energy are a requirement here. It’s hard to hide when the general manager is also the 40+ year morning show co-host, the sometimes engineer and IT guy, and one of the biggest personalities in the market. Comes in early, stays late. You have to be vibrant and high-energy or you’ll stand out (in the wrong way) around him.

And you’ll be part of Saga Communications – recognized far and wide as the best broadcast company in the business.

Send resume, aircheck, and anything else that’ll make your case.
