On-Air Classical Host (Fill-In)

GBH enriches people's lives through programs and services that educate, inspire, and entertain, fostering citizenship and culture, the joy of learning, and the power of diverse perspectives.

At GBH, we believe in the advantages of coming together to build community, mentor and learn from colleagues, and connect more deeply with our mission. As a result, the majority of our staff are hybrid and work both from home and onsite. Our current hybrid approach requires staff to work onsite a minimum of two days each week, every Tuesday and one other day, to be determined by their business unit. Hybrid staff are also welcome to come in additional days each week or may be asked to come in on other days by their manager.

DEPARTMENT OVERVIEW

CRB Classical 99.5 is Boston’s only 24-hour classical station, a division of GBH Music. CRB Classical reaches hundreds of thousands of listeners on 99.5-FM, via classical.org, the CRB mobile app, and through regional syndication of Boston Symphony Orchestra concerts.

JOB OVERVIEW

We are seeking fill-in radio hosts for both live and pre-recorded shifts. The candidate should be an engaging speaker, knowledgeable about classical music, passionate about bringing new audiences to the classical world, and curious about the world outside of music. This is an ongoing need, and we are always open to discovering new talent.

We are currently looking for substitute hosts, which means that while you won’t have a regularly scheduled shift, we will contact you to substitute for live shifts and voice-tracked (pre-recorded) shifts as needed throughout the week.
