Anytime multiple cuts hit our industry, it’s natural to feel grim about the job prospects in radio. But after looking at the openings at CBS Radio, there’s hope for those looking for full-time gigs in large markets. CBS Radio isn’t the largest radio group, but there are some really awesome opportunities there. Here’s a list of 7 cool jobs I found, but please visit the CBS Radio Careers site to see what else is available.
- New York’s 92-3 AMP Full-Time On Air Talent
- CBS Houston Hot AC Producer/On Air
- 96.5 AMP/Philadelphia FULL TIME AIR TALENT
- 96.5 FM AMP/Philadelphia RADIO MORNING SHOW HOST
- WVEE/Atlanta Full Time Producer
- Boston Hot AC Overnight Talent
- KLUC/Las Vegas Morning Show Co-Host
While the motivation to discover job openings came after learning about the cuts at Radio One, it’s never a bad time to throw your hat in the ring if you have the desire to work in another market. Just because someone hasn’t discovered you doesn’t mean you wouldn’t be a contender for one of these great gigs, so go for it!
Good luck!
