Morning News Anchor

Dayton 24/7 (WKEF) is seeking a dynamic, high-impact Morning News Anchor to lead our five-hour live morning broadcasts. This is not a "read-the-news" position-this is a leadership role inside a forward-thinking newsroom where anchors are central to editorial decision-making, storytelling innovation, and audience connection.

At WKEF, our anchors don't just present the news-they lead coverage, mentor teams, and drive content across platforms.

What You'll Do

As an Anchor, you will be a central leader in our newsroom and a key driver of daily content. You will:

• Anchor newscasts with confidence, clarity, and credibility
• Actively participate in daily editorial meetings, helping shape rundowns and coverage strategy
• Produce and contribute original content across broadcast, digital, and social platforms
• Write in a clear, conversational, audience-focused style
• Deliver compelling live coverage in breaking news and major event situations
• Build strong connections with viewers through consistent social media engagement
• Collaborate closely with producers, reporters, and digital teams to elevate storytelling
• Mentor and support MMJs and producers as part of a team-first newsroom culture
• Represent the station in the community through events, initiatives, and public engagement
