Bloomberg Radio seeks a reporter in New York

September 13, 2022

Posted by Chris Roush

Bloomberg operates its own radio stations in New York, Boston, San Francisco, Washington, DC, and London, England. In addition, Bloomberg Radio provides live and on-demand content to Bloomberg.com, the Bloomberg Business app, SiriusXM, and numerous other digital platforms. Bloomberg also operates a national radio network that is the leading provider of radio business news in the United States. Audacy’s owned and operated all-news radio stations (including both WCBS and WINS in New York) use Bloomberg as their primary business and consumer news provider, as do iHeart’s all-news stations. Bloomberg is heard on a total of about 400 radio stations nationwide.

  •   Produce feature reports incorporating sound bites, music, and other production elements
  •   Communicate and collaborate directly with producers, anchors and reporters, both inside and outside of Bloomberg

YOU’LL NEED TO HAVE:

  •   IMPORTANT: Candidates must submit an audio aircheck (mp3 file) of on-air newscast(s) and/or an audio demo of a one-minute business report
  •   3+ years experience delivering news or business reports in major radio markets or network radio
  •   Strong on-air presentation skills
  •   Exceptional broadcast writing skills
  •   Demonstrated ability to perform on-air reports in major markets
  •   Proficiency with Adobe Audition or other audio editing software

  •   Flexibility to adjust working schedule as business needs require
