News Anchor

One of America’s most respected News-Talk brands, honored for its nationally acclaimed coverage and human outreach during the devastating 2011 Joplin Tornado, and credited for saving “thousands of lives” has a rare morning cast opening.

Today’s KZRG rivals fellow spoken word formats from Kansas City to Tulsa.

Zimmer Marketing would like to meet you since this rare morning opening means opportunity. To fit the profile: experience in or around Talk Radio; News writing and delivery helpful.

Zimmer-owned KZRG has facilities typically found only in Top 30 markets, a strong culture staff, serving the “four states corner” from Joplin.

We thrive in an innovative environment. The ideal candidate will be able to work in a fast-paced setting and see projects through to completion. We’re looking for coachable individuals who can receive guidance then work independently.

Zimmer Marketing is a family-owned and operated media company that lives and breathes, creating a fun, compelling on-air experience. Audio is our business, and we know how to win, and we know how to have fun! We are in a unique position as a debt-free company; we do not face the burden of the large national broadcast companies with downsizing and a contracting bottom line.

Joplin, Missouri, is an outdoor recreational hotspot, close to many lakes and state parks. The low cost of living makes this opportunity hard to pass up. Joplin has transformed into an affordable, livable version of the urban lifestyle with a burgeoning music and cultural venues, bike trails and walkable streets, and robust culinary and coffee scenes.
