KXRM-TV, FOX21 | Colorado Springs, CO
Be the Face of the Future of News in Southern Colorado
Are you a dynamic storyteller, a passionate journalist, and a forward-thinking leader ready to shape the future of local news? KXRM-TV FOX21 in beautiful Colorado Springs is seeking a Main Evening News Anchor to drive our evening newscasts (4:30p, 5p, 6:30p, 9p, and 10p) and help us redefine what it means to be a local broadcaster in a rapidly changing media landscape.
This isn’t your typical anchor job, it’s a chance to make an impact. We’re not just reporting the news; we’re leading the conversation. Our newsroom thrives on innovation, collaboration, and authenticity. We are actively evolving to meet our viewers where they are, on air, online, and on every screen in between.

What We’re Looking For:

We want a trailblazer who isn’t afraid to get out from behind the desk. Someone who can mentor younger journalists, be active with ideas in the editorial meeting, write and produce impactful content, and jump in as a field reporter on a weekly basis. This is a hands-on leadership role in a collaborative, high-energy newsroom.

If you're simply looking to read the news and go home, this isn't the role for you. We’re looking for someone who lives the news, is passionate about community connection, and has a voice that carries across platforms.

You’ll Thrive Here If You:

  • Embrace change and bring bold ideas to the table
  • Can write and deliver compelling, clear, and engaging content across all platforms
  • See challenges as creative opportunities
  • Understand what matters most to your audience and how to connect with them
  • Are fluent in digital and social media, and understand their role in modern journalism
  • Are a collaborative team player with a good sense of humor and an entrepreneurial spirit

Bonus Points If You:

  • Know your way around ENPS, Adobe Premiere, and the Ross graphics system
  • Have experience with streaming content and digital-first thinking
  • Love a newsroom that’s fast-paced, innovative, and fun

Requirements:

  • Bachelor's degree in Broadcast Journalism or related field (or equivalent experience)
  • Minimum of 5 years on-air anchoring experience (market size considered)
  • Exceptional writing, communication, and on-camera skills
  • A strong editorial voice and excellent news judgment
  • Valid driver's license and clean driving record
  • Willingness to work flexible hours when news breaks
