We have a broad sense of the foundations of this show, but we need a host.
Do you want help create a new live daily radio show for New York?
Do you want to be part of a team that is serving the audience of the New York metropolitan area in all its glory and diversity that is firmly grounded in the real life of the region?
Do you want to help start a conversation at noon on terrestrial radio, that continues in the social space and in the real spaces of neighborhoods in and around New York City?
Do you want to be part of a team that sparks conversation about the things that reflect all aspects of news, art, culture and life in the greatest city in the nation?
WNYC is creating a new live daily show that builds upon the long and beloved tradition of live, participatory midday talk and takes it to new places (not just the radio dial) and new people (smart, interesting, engaged New Yorkers in all their diversity who have yet to discover WNYC).
We want to make a show that lives in the now and serves the live radio audience across all platforms, while also allowing for on time-shifted listening as well as social sharing that will expand reach beyond the traditional channels and bring in a whole new audience.
The show will be of New York but have a universal appeal. It will ignite conversation, take the pulse of the city and be THE place for arts and life, for cultural tastemakers, newsmakers and everyday New Yorkers.
Grows the next generation of WNYC fans, a new, younger, and increasingly diverse audience across an array of platforms, while continuing to serve the core audience.
