KVOE, a leader in Kansas mid-market radio, needs an ambitious news anchor/reporter to serve the Emporia area. KVOE embodies the "Live and Local" mantra it has used as its positioning statement for years. Our stations reach approximately 55,000 people in seven counties. The KVOE News department consistently wins awards for its coverage of local news, events and causes, including the National Association of Broadcasters Crystal Award (2012), Kansas Association of Broadcasters Tony Jewell Community Service Award (2010) and numerous individual awards just in the last decade. Our three-station cluster airs over 100 newscasts and on-air updates weekly, with all on-air stories posted online and frequent daily alerts on Facebook and Twitter.
