Looking for a writer for a Major Sports Talk show in Southern California

[jdoe19]

A tremendous opportunity for a person who has separated from the pack and is willing to grind. There is a potentially great payoff if you're willing to pay the price. Some have the ability but not the drive, others have the drive but not the ability. We're looking for that one individual who is the complete package who has recognizes a great opportunity when they see one. Must work quickly, be able to rant on a number of topics and work well with others. If you're competitive, loyal and hungry, send cover letter, resume, and writing samples (rants) to: [email protected].

Salary depending on experience.

Is the payoff for the lucky winner a Major Award?

JDoe19: What would be a salary range? Or, to be more specific, what's the top end you would imagine you might pay to someone with connections in this market and lots of experience?

Translation: If we start making a ****load of money, you'll eventually get paid for doing it. But don't look for any compensation until you've put in a ton of work.

Where did this come from? Any ideas on the company/site for this "Major Sports talk show" ?

If this profession has become based on one's ranting ability, I won't miss it when it's gone.

Yeah. If anyone looks into this I'd be curious to hear about it.

Whenever I see the word hungry in a job listing, I figure that they're looking for someone who is used to being hungry and won't mind not being able to afford food.

Usually if they're vague about who the **** they are, it means they don't want to tell you.

One way to tell this job's not in the South: The writer has to write more than "Hello caller, you're on the air."

Just wanted to say, this job sounds a bit sketchy. You guys do a great job of ripping on it. I'll hang up and listen.

In all seriousness, why would a talk show need a writer? Don't most radio hosts go off their own stuff? Or are we talking Anchorman-esque dependence on the script?

F*** you, San Diego.

I'm BYH with my co-host today, **** and Balls McGee.

After reading y'all's weigh-ins here, I'm very curious as to whether the contact for this gig, radiojob1, has checked out this thread ... and what he/she must think. I, for one, love what I'm reading.

And for the record, no, I won't apply. I ain't cut out for sports talk radio. I won't bow at the feet of Tom Brady, A-Rod, Kobe, Beckham and Dale Jr. for an entire shift like most of today's - ahem - "experts."

If that's all you have, clone, you won't be in the smack-off. Come on, people ... Step it up, come strong, have a take and don't suck!

Grrreat.

I sent them and email and I am waiting to see if they even respond. Also why on earth would they use a free email account if its a big LA station?
