Job Details

CUMULUS MEDIA | FORT WALTON BEACH/DESTIN.....wait did you say beach? Yep, as in the white sandy beaches of The Emerald Coast. 99ROCK has a rare morning co-host opening and we're looking for someone, maybe you, to join the number one morning show on the number one radio station in the market. (not so humble brag) We should talk if you think you have what it takes not to mess things up.

This is where we tell you what qualities we're looking for in a co-host by using a bunch of cool phrases and words that are almost as impressive as our beaches. You know, "team player", "hard worker", "radio lover", "community-driven", "multi-tasker" (which has been proven to be scientifically impossible, but we'll still include it) "dynamic", "creative", "focused", "funny", blah blah blah. "Smart" is optional. You know what's not optional, using sunscreen when sunbathing on our white sandy beaches.

If co-hosting the market-leading morning show on the market-leading heritage radio station sounds like an awesome gig to you, and it is, send us your audio and resume pronto. Did we mention our white sandy beaches?
