Dream of living, working, and playing by the beach? If so, WWAY News wants YOU to be part of our award-winning team! WWAY, the ABC, CBS, and CW affiliate serving coastal southeastern North Carolina, is looking for a Sports Reporter / Anchor to bring dynamic local sports coverage to our community. What You’ll Do :

- Engage with our audience through social media, web content, and community events.
- Cover local sports, including UNC Wilmington athletics, high school teams, and the lifestyle sports that make the Cape Fear region a top destination—golf, tennis, surfing, and more!

Anchoring, ENPS and Edius experience are a plus. You MUST possess a valid driver's license and good driving record. You must include a demo reel with your resume.
