Morning Show Host Wanted for Iowa’s Best Country, KIX 101.1
This isn’t corporate radio.
You’re not just a number in a database here. You are part of a team, and your voice matters on and off the air.
Iowa’s Best Country, KIX 101.1 located in Marshalltown, Iowa is looking for a Morning Show Host who understands what LOCAL radio really means. We’ve been keeping country fans across Central Iowa informed and entertained since 1987. From Des Moines to Ames, Cedar Falls/Waterloo to Cedar Rapids, Newton to Grinnell, and beyond. Our 100,000-watt powerhouse needs someone who’s ready to carry on that tradition with heart, energy, and a community-first mindset.
What You'll Do:
- Be the host of the Morning KIX Start on KIX 101.1 with local content and listener interaction, not just a reader of national prep sheets.
- Deliver compelling, local content that connects with listeners across Central Iowa.
- Get out into the community from remote broadcasts and local events to impromptu chats with business owners and listeners.
- Oversee station promotions and help create fun, engaging campaigns that tie into the show.
- Training and learning the Assistant Program Director role and over time transitioning into the Program Director position.
- Produce commercials, promos and imaging as part of your regular duties.
- Use social media and digital platforms to enhance your on-air presence and engage with listeners all day long, not just during the morning drive.
Who You Are:
- A personality who brings energy, curiosity, and a passion for local radio.
- Someone who knows their way around a radio studio and also knows how to make a social media post pop.
- Comfortable wearing multiple hats: host, promoter, content creator and more.
- Team-focused but self-motivated. You bring ideas to the table and aren’t afraid to try something new.
What We Offer:
- A say in day-to-day operations, programming, and promotions. (Again, this is NOT corporate radio)
- Shared-cost health insurance
- Simple IRA set-up plan
- Paid holidays and vacation time
- Extra pay for remote broadcasts
- A work environment where people still love what they do — and have fun doing it
