Hello from Arkansas! Our weekend morning position has opened up at KFSM-TV 5NEWS, the CBS affiliate for Northwest Arkansas and eastern Oklahoma (Market 101). We are the #1 station (tv, digital, and social) in the market with a heavy focus on weather.
Few Highlights:
1) Our new station is only 1 year old and is state of the art (Johnson, AR).
2) We have a storm chase Jeep Wrangler Unlimited.
3) While true winter is limited, we are an active severe weather market.
4) Our Chief Garrett Lewis is the best in the business and is a legend here in Arkansas. You’ll learn so much from him and he’ll invest in you as a mentor.
If you are interested in applying, send your resume tape to garrett.lewis@kfsm.com. If you have any questions, feel free to email me at “matthew.standridge@kfsm.com”.
Our market is split into two with “NWA” in the north and the “River Valley” in the south, separated by the stunning Boston Mountains and Ozark National Forest. If you like to hike, kayak, or chase waterfalls, you’ll fall in love with Arkansas. It’s also a rapidly growing metro with the headquarters for Walmart, Tyson Foods, and JB Hunt.
