CBC Saskatchewan is looking for a dynamic new host for Blue Sky, our noon hour current affairs radio program. The position can be based in either Regina or Saskatoon. This is a term position that will end in January, 2028.
You are the most curious person in the room. You relate well to guests. You care deeply about their stories. You know when to laugh, and you know when to hold people accountable. You are confident in what you know, and are interested in what you don’t.
You understand that audiences want to be both entertained and informed over the lunch hour, and you make audiences feel welcome and part of a community. You know that using a full range of tone and perspective is key to strong radio current affairs programming.
You have a sense of adventure, an eclectic range of interests and a keen desire to meet new people, explore our province, and learn other perspectives. You are passionate about championing stories from Saskatchewan’s under-represented communities, and you love meeting listeners where they live through in-person public appearances and remote broadcasts.
An exceptional journalist and a keen observer, you must be able to quickly analyze a broad range of issues and thrive in the fast-paced, high-pressure world of live, local radio. You have a strong grasp on Saskatchewan’s political landscape and its energy-driven and ag-driven economy. You understand how these issues affect the day-to-day lives of the people who live here.
As a leader on the Blue Sky team, it’s clear you care about your colleagues on the show and in the newsroom. You act as a team unifier and collaborator, and are always looking for creative solutions to challenges.
You live for our audiences. You care as much about our traditional audiences as you do about getting your storytelling in front of entirely new audiences. You are keen to explore how we can do that in video and social spaces.
