Internship - Account Executive (Sales)

Description

About the job

Company Background
 

Dick Broadcasting was founded in 1952 when James A. Dick Sr, filed an application with the FCC for a daytime AM station in Knoxville, TN. The station went live in 1953, with a focus on local content and a commitment to being involved in the community. He went as far as creating call letters to match that commitment, calling the station WIVK, which stood for the Independent Voice of Knoxville. While the company has grown exponentially since 1952, we are unapologetically proud that we still operate with that same ethos 72 years later. 

Today that focus is shown on a daily basis across our 20 radios stations, our award-winning morning shows, and our digital marketing team. In an era of one size fits all, we are proud to customize everything we do for our listeners and clients. 

This is DBC!
