Cross-cluster Executive Morning Show Producer – Clear Channel, Birmingham

We just graduated another one to the big leagues! Clearchannel Media and Entertainment, Birmingham seeks Full-Time executive Morning show producer. The ideal candidate is someone who is plugged into their community, and understands what people are talking about at church, Target, football games, and around the dinner table with their families. The ability to both navigate and create content on sites like Facebook, and twitter are all a must. This position requires understanding of minds of the consumers of multiple formats: Country, A/C and News-Talk. You should also be a ravenous consumer of all media, from web sites like TMZ and the Blaze, to TV shows like The Voice, Sports Center, and the Five. Finally maintenance of an ever-growing smart-phone contact list of top shelf local and national celebrities and guests is critical.

The position would require assisting in the booking, planning and execution of three high profile morning shows, general promotional support, board operation and production.

The following are additional desirable traits that we are looking for. No applicant will have every single one of these, but if you don’t have at least most of them, we are probably not a good fit for each other:

•4+ years experience producing a show, preferably a morning show in a rated market.
•Able to work well under pressure while still wearing a smile.
•Quick audio editing skills, Adobe Audition preferred.
•Experience with Nex-Gen.

•Someone who is not mic shy, but also knows the role of the producer is not to get between the host and the listener.
•Someone who understands and respects Alabama culture, and the target listener for each of the respective brands.
•The ability to keep several plates spinning at once.
•Great promotional ideation.
•Someone who is not afraid to get up very, VERY early in the morning, every weekday morning.

1.If not local, how quickly can you relocate? What will it take to get you here?
2.(Being realistic) provide at least a broad salary expectation (so I know we are not wasting each other’s time)
3.Are there any obligations which would prevent you from preforming your duties on a consistent basis?
4.In one paragraph, or less, tell me why you are the perfect candidate for this job, and why we shouldn’t even look at any other applicant.
