CBC New Brunswick is looking for a dynamic new host for Information_ Morning Moncton_, the morning current affairs radio program serving eastern New Brunswick from Sackville in the south to Campbellton in the north.

Your role

You are an insatiably curious early-morning storyteller with a passion for drawing emotion and stories out of interview guests. You are equally comfortable holding a politician accountable as you are chatting with children, and you know when to put people at ease and when to challenge them.

You understand that audiences want to be both entertained and informed as they start their day, and you realize the importance of making audiences feel welcome and part of a community.

You have a sense of adventure, an eclectic range of interests and a keen desire to meet new people, explore our city, and learn other perspectives.

You are passionate about championing stories from the region’s under-represented communities, and you love meeting listeners where they live through in-person public appearances and at remotes.

An exceptional journalist and a keen observer, you are able to quickly analyze a broad range of issues and thrive in the fast-paced, high-pressure world of live, local radio. You have a strong grasp on Moncton and New Brunswick’s political landscape and its resource-driven economy, and you understand how these issues affect the day-to-day lives of the people who live here.

As a member of the Moncton Morning team, it’s clear you care about your colleagues. You act as a team unifier and collaborator, and are always looking for creative solutions to challenges.
