Help Wanted!
On deck this week ladies and gentlemen: A job opportunity!
Kinda…Okay so here’s the deal Toledo. This year I was blessed enough to serve as the Sports Director for the student radio station on campus, 88.3 WXUT and in doing so I was able to get a small team together and with the help of Mason Lowry and our station manager Allison Dow (in addition to many other people at the station) we were able to broadcast all home football games. We even traveled up to Michigan when our Rockets upset the Wolverines! It was one of the most amazing moments of my life and something I will always remember. In addition to doing the football games, I also did play by play for our basketball team with lots of help from Josh Bloomfield and Mason Lowry, Mason also did the entire season of the Women’s basketball games. And if it weren’t for Mason and Josh many of the games would have gone uncovered because of the small size of our team. And this is where you come in, Toledo!
Due to our small broadcasting team size we were always scrambling to find someone to board opt (someone in the studio to actually put us on the air) and finding a co-broadcaster wasn’t cake either. We are looking for as many aspiring sports broadcasters as possible, experience is appreciated but is not necessary! In addition to broadcasters we would also love anyone that would like to join the radio station in general as it is a great place to hangout at and is a great life experience. Some positions, such as the board operator will be paid positions as your work will not go unnoticed.
I want our program to cover all of our sports next year and especially away games and this is only going to be possible with a large broadcast team. We can’t do it without you Toledo! So please, if you need experience in this field, or even if you just want to have some fun and maybe even travel a bit you should contact me immediately. I will leave my information below to reach me at and will provide more details upon request. Again, we need as many people as possible to make the sports department at Toledo as great as it should be. Thank you and hope to see you soon, go Rockets!
