News Director

News Director Position

Our legendary News Director is retiring and while we know he can never be replaced, we're excited for him to enjoy retirement while the next News Director comes in to carry on the traditions he created.
The legendary Mighty 790 KFGO – 104.7 – 94.1 in the Fargo-Moorhead market is part of a dominant six-station (eight signal) cluster. Our team delivers live and local news and content 24/7 with local programming all-day with no syndication Monday-Friday and local news, sports, and weather content throughout the weekend.
KFGO is a full-service News/Talk/Sports and Weather radio station that has a dedicated team that rivals any station in the country. The longstanding leader in the Upper Midwest KFGO is seeking its next great team member to join in a news and hosting capacity.
The right candidate will be naturally curious, love to speak beyond the newscast, write long-form stories for KFGO.com, understand the art of the tease on-air, online and on social media and can manage a team of reporters, plan out on-call, stories and assignments but will also understand the impact of agriculture on the Upper Midwest.
The position will require a valid driver license and a clean driving record.
Midwest Communications, Inc is privately owned and operated with 81 radio stations in eight states. We are proud to be an equal opportunity employer by choice.
