Work at CBC/Radio-Canada

At CBC/Radio-Canada, we create content that informs, entertains and connects Canadians on multiple platforms. Our successes and accomplishments are driven by embodying and upholding values, which include creativity, integrity, inclusiveness and relevance.
Do you think you have the ability and drive to keep up with this exciting, everchanging industry? Whether it be in front of the camera, on air, online or behind the scenes, you would be joining a team that thrives on making connections and telling stories that are important to Canadians.

Your role
We are looking for a host for our Saskatchewan radio morning show based in Regina.

This person is a key player in an energetic team — a leader who thrives in an often fast-paced, high-pressure environment.

The host must also be knowledgeable about the affairs of Saskatchewan and the province's French-speaking community. The ability to go live and "off script" at a moment's notice is highly valued.

The host works closely with a small team to create an inquisitive, engaging, bold and diverse broadcast that fulfills the program's mandate to bring our listeners everything they need to know to get their day started.

This is no caretaker role — self-starters only need apply.

Reporting to the show producers and Senior Content Manager for Saskatchewan, you will play a leadership role in preparing and presenting the morning show while building strong connections with audiences both on air and on social media.

You will contribute substantially to the planning, design and organization of the program, proposing content ideas and conducting interviews on or off air; you will also interact with program participants.

Activities

You perform a variety of tasks associated with the preparation and on-air presentation of program material on radio, television and/or digital platforms.

You may be involved in developing and executing the program, and the direction of the program can often be influenced by your knowledge and performance capabilities.

Your work is governed by Corporation programming and/or journalistic policies and standards, but there is a requirement for creativity, initiative and independent judgment.

Key tasks:

Contribute to the planning, design and organization of programs within the context that the program is typically highly formatted; ensure the preparation of material for broadcast.
Propose content/segment ideas, suggest and line up guests or interviewees, prepare background notes and questions, interview on or off air and provide narration and linking continuity between program segments.
Interact spontaneously with program participants, such as guests and interviewees, members of the audience and phonein callers.
Maintain your expertise in fields related to program topics.
Participate in public and/or community relations activities as appropriate, to promote the program(s) and/or the Corporation.
Present and host a weekday radio morning show.
Establish and maintain connections with audiences and the general public via various social platforms.

As required, perform the following tasks:

Act as master of ceremonies, narrator or interviewer on other programs.
Conduct research using a variety of sources.
Edit program material.
University degree in journalism/communications or equivalent.
Three years' comparable and relevant experience that demonstrates knowledge of the broadcasting industry and an understanding and awareness of issues and events particular to Saskatchewan and to daily news.
Excellent reporting, interviewing and writing skills.
Ability to generate original content/segment ideas and creative treatments.
Excellent communication skills.
Knowledge of Franco-Saskatchewanian community issues.
Ability to evaluate and analyze a broad range of national and international issues.
Ability to tell stories with clarity.
Ease with live work.
Ability to present live events and breaking news.
Strong interpersonal and teamplaying skills.
Ability to be creative, flexible and selfmotivated.
Bilingualism (English and French).You are invited to consult and familiarize yourself with our Code of Conduct, which can be found on our corporate website. All employees must adhere to the Code as a condition of employment. We also invite you to take a look at our policy on conflicts of interest. In the event that you become an employee, it will be important to inform us, as quickly as possible, of any situation that, because of your hiring, constitutes or could appear to constitute a conflict of interest.
