Two years ago, WHNT was named ''Station of the Year,'' by the Alabama Broadcasters Association. We are the only station in the market with live newscasts 7am-9am weekdays, and the only station with a 6:30pm weekday newscast. This is an operation that believes in local news. We are a battleground market with tough competition, on the verge of an exciting year ahead, including mid-term and state elections. Take a look at the stories we've covered in the past few months online. We cover big city news in a small market. Our anchors must demonstrate an understanding of the challenges, the heartaches, the injustices, and the successes, that people in our audience face every day. We are a viewer advocacy brand of journalism in Huntsville, ''North Alabama's News Leader,'' where some of our stories are branded, ''Taking Action, Getting Results.'' That means our work must serve our viewers, and the communities in which we live. This anchor must be active on web, social media and will volunteer in the community. At times, you will be asked to approve reporter scripts, preview producer scripts and help with teases and topicals. That includes going out to report in the field, when necessary, field anchor and work as a mentor in the newsroom to reporters, producers and studio production team. The successful candidate should be prepared to take an active role in news gathering every day, across all screens and platforms. Some previous work on the anchor desk is required, but this is a great opportunity for a reporter in a larger market, or a smaller market anchor/reporter, to get primary anchor experience. The cost of living in North Alabama is unmatched anywhere in the Southeast, with the addition of the backdrop of beautiful mountains and lakes in the Tennessee Valley. News 19 is the only station located in the heart of the growing downtown. Huntsville recently was named by the 2020 US Census as the most populated city in Alabama. You be reporting from an area that has grown substantially the past decade. The Weekday Evening Anchor is one of the leaders in the newsroom, who helps shape stories and coverage of the evening news. The evening anchor team also anchors a half hour newscast on our CW station, WHDF. News 19 produces 50.5 hours of live news a week, more than anyone else in the market. North Alabama's News Leader is looking for our next Weekday Evening Anchor, to co-anchor evening newscasts, working with a news team that is the number one rated station in the market.
