SWX-TV is looking for its next Sports Director! As the local sports leader based in Spokane, WA we are looking for someone to lead our team, co-host our nightly half-hour sports show, and provide play-by-play for live broadcasts. SWX is one of the premier sportscasting destinations in the country, producing content for a 24-hour sports channel and contributing to nightly sportscasts for KHQ-TV, the local NBC affiliate. We know the return of sports will be epic and SWX is ready to provide the most comprehensive coverage of all our teams when they are back. The scope of our coverage includes Gonzaga basketball, as well as Big Sky football and basketball at Eastern Washington & Idaho, and special events like Hoopfest. We also regularly broadcast live sporting events for the Western Hockey League and Short-Season Class-A baseball, while also producing programming for various Coaches Shows. All-in-all we produce hundreds of live events each year. The ideal candidate will have extensive sportscasting experience, proven leadership skills and extensive knowledge of all things sports. If you love covering sports and want the opportunity to do it at every level - pro, college, and high school - this is your dream job. You will have the opportunity to cover the Pac-12 with Washington State University less than 90 minutes away, and we've been known to go big in live coverage of the Final 4, Super Bowl and other national sporting events.
