Careers at Country 96
Build your career where the community can hear it.
For 60 years, Country 96 has been mid-Missouri's home for country — built by people who love radio and love this place. If that sounds like you, let's talk.
Why work here
Small station. Big impact. Real radio.
Country 96 isn't a faceless corporate cluster — it's a women-owned, locally operated independent that has been part of mid-Missouri life since 1966. That means the work you do here gets heard by your neighbors, and the difference you make is one you can see at the grocery store.
Whether you dream of being on the air, closing deals that help local businesses grow, chasing the news, or running the board on a Friday-night ballgame, we'll give you the reps, the responsibility and the support to do it well. A lot of broadcasting careers started right here in Mexico, MO.
We're proud to be an Equal Opportunity Employer. Our full EEO public file is available at the studio for review.
