Programming
On-Air Host
Merlin Media, LLC – Chicago is looking for on-air hosts who can relate to the target audience, aren't stuck in the same old mold, have updated their presentation and style, understand topicality and urgency and get that interacting with the listener is a lot more than answering the request line, trolling for a hook-up at the end of the night.
Knowledge of rock (from classic to new) music and lifestyle is essential.
Multiple positions are available, and all require hustle, guerrilla attitudes and additional duties. These can include on-air/commercial production/creative imaging, on-air/promotions, on-air/content creation on the website and our various social and digital platforms. What are you great at?
These aren't four-and-out-the-door gigs…you'll be immersed in a vibrant, collaborative and creative environment while you help build a growing company.
