Part-Time Board Operator - KFYO
About The Position
KFYO is seeking a LIVE morning show producer who will run the board for and contribute to the overall success of our morning show, Sunrise L-B-K! As the news and talk of West Texas for nearly a century, KFYO is a generational station that many in Lubbock and beyond have relied on since 1927. Sunrise L-B-K is a 2-hour program that runs from 6:30 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. every weekday on KFYO — a Townsquare Media station. From automotive news and local headlines to which co-host has a bigger obsession with cats, Sunrise L-B-K with Tom Collins and Matt Crow is the perfect show when starting your day in The Hub City! This position requires you to work in-office and on-site as needed. The morning show producer should not be treated as a summer job and is not a temporary position. KFYO producers are relied upon to be the captains of each live show! Of course, having fun while doing it is a must.
