Sports Anchor/Reporter
FOX45 in Baltimore has an opening for a sports reporter/anchor. We are looking for a tenacious reporter to really dig into both professional and amateur area sports teams with the expectation to break news on-air and on-line.

We want to hire a hungry, versatile, and digital reporting focused reporter that wants to immerse themselves into the Baltimore region sports teams.
