BREAKFAST NEWSREADER – NOVA 93.7

How powerful is your voice?

…because we might be able to help with that.

Nova 93.7 is looking for a Breakfast Newsreader.

Your news would be part of Nathan, Nat and Shaun, Perth’s number one FM Breakfast show. *

We’re looking for an experienced FM newsreader, who knows how to have fun, how we pronounce ‘Derby’, ‘Coogee’ and ‘Mandurah’, and is a passionate news and sport addict.

It wouldn’t hurt if you were a foodie, either. Google the words ‘Deep Fryday’ to find out why.

This is only the third time this job has been advertised in the station’s history, so it’s not an opportunity to miss.

You know how the rest works, so if this is you, please get in touch with Daniel Underhill, Programme Director at Nova 93.7 – dunderhill@novaentertainment.com.au

Creative person wanted to work insmall space. The space is only 30 seconds long, but we need you to fill it with big ideas. It’s situated in the commercial break on Nova 93.7 Perth. The only tool you will have to work with (apart from your Creative Director) is sound!

So, you will need to be a master of the spoken work, with a passion for music and sfx.

You will also possess a chameleon like ability to assume the brand voice of any given radio advertiser, and adapt their message to ensure it captures the attention of their target audience.

The best scripts will proceed to the next round, where applicants will respond to a client brief and flex their wordsmith abilities.

You have 30 seconds… Go!
