Audacy’s San Francisco/Northwest Region’s TWIN Division has a rare, full time Traffic/Weather/Sports Producer/Reporter position, based at All-News KCBS Radio in San Francisco, the Bay Area’s number one news station. Are you an audacious and tech-savvy broadcast journalist with a positive attitude and impressive work ethic ready to join an elite news radio team? Are you a storyteller with a compelling on-air delivery? Can you translate dispatcher-speak into a language everyone can understand? Can you tell a sports story without numbers? Can you voice a weather report that doesn’t require a meteorology degree to follow?
You should have an expertise and high-comfort level with all things IT, a second-nature social media proficiency (X, Facebook, Instagram) with a natural curiosity and desire to touch the listener in as many ways as imaginable. You will be expected to work under tight deadlines in a fast-paced newsroom. We are seeking a broadcast journalist who collaborates with editors and producers.

You must be passionate, committed, self-motivated and agreeable to a flexible work schedule, which may include evenings, overnights and/or weekends. Excellent written and verbal communication skills are required, and candidates must be able to take a detail-oriented approach to work while meeting tight deadlines. This is not a job for a beginner. Experience in a major market is a plus.
