Description:

WGLT and WCBU, twin NPR stations in Central Illinois, are looking for a new MORNING EDITION Host and Audio Producer.

This full-time role is a perfect fit for an early-career professional who loves being in front of a microphone but is also passionate about audio editing and production, imaging and brand, and developing expertise in the systems that run modern radio stations.

WGLT and WCBU are operated by Illinois State University, with great benefits and generous time off, located in an affordable community just south of Chicago. Yes, you'll get up early, but your work-life balance will be in order.

Local news is our bread and butter, and we're a proud member of the NPR Network and the Institute for Nonprofit News.
