In a job posting, Cumulus states it is “looking for its next 2pm-5pm Weekday Talk Superstar for legendary News/Talk 820 WBAP AND 99-5-FM HD2. You must have a history of ratings success in a major to large market. WE ARE NOT LOOKING FOR ANOTHER POLITICAL TALK SHOW. You must be a news/talk junkie with the ability to identify stories that impact the average 45-64 yr. old adult. Our ideal candidate should possess an extremely good work ethic, be opinionated, be curious, be a self-starter, be a great interviewer, and be highly organized with the ability to work in a fast-paced environment. The position requires extreme reliability and flexibility.”
