Internship Applications Now Being Accepted at Townsquare Media Evansville

An Internship Changed the Course of My Career

Back in college, I had no idea what I wanted to be “when I grew up,” but I knew the clock was ticking. I’m a creative person, and if I can’t express that in some way, I’m miserable. Since I was majoring in Public Relations and Advertising (the go-to major for kids who hate math), I decided to ask one of my favorite people in the world, Chad Benefield, if I could spend a semester with him in continuity and production at 92.5 WBKR. He said yes, showed me the ropes, and it became a turning point in my life.

From there, I worked in publishing and marketing before landing back here at Townsquare Media, where I’ve been for the past 13 years.

Townsquare Media Offering Internships in Fall 2025

Because I was lucky enough to have an amazing mentor who helped me break into media, I’ve tried to pay it forward by taking on interns whenever I can. Of course, I can’t do it without my team. We all work together to create a fun and valuable internship experience here at the station. This fall, our programming staff is reopening our internship program for college students.

What You Need to Know

We can only take interns who are enrolled in an internship class through an accredited college or university. If you’re a high school student or someone interested in media but not enrolled in a college internship class, we unfortunately can’t offer you an internship. However, you’re welcome to reach out about job shadowing at our offices for a few days.

The interns will be working out of the Evansville offices a couple of days a week. Early birds are encouraged because you’ll get to sit in on our live morning shows. You don’t have to talk on-air if you don’t want to, but we want you to experience how it’s done.

We’re looking for self-motivated individuals who don’t need constant direction. We’re busy, and our interns have to keep up!

Creativity is key. We do a lot of fun digital content and want interns who “get it” and are comfortable creating social content our audiences will love.

What You’ll Do:

• Create engaging content for station's social media platforms, including Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and X.

• Assist with digital property projects, including writing and publishing articles for our station websites.

• Film and edit videos for social media, websites, and promotional use.

• Research local trends, events, and stories for potential on-air and online features.

• Assist in developing and executing on-air and online promotions.

• Gain on-air experience through voice tracking, live appearances, or assisting with show segments.

• Support live events, including concerts, remotes, and community appearances.

• Spend time with the Sales Department to observe client interactions, promotions planning, and advertising strategies.

What We’re Looking For:

• Strong communication and writing skills.

• Basic familiarity with social media platforms and content creation tools.

• Interest in radio, media, marketing, or journalism.

• Ability to work both independently and collaboratively in a fast-paced environment.

• Willingness to learn, take direction, and bring new ideas to the table.

What You’ll Gain:

• Practical, real-world media experience.

• Published work for your professional portfolio.

• Exposure to on-air, digital, promotions, and sales operations.

• Networking opportunities with industry professionals.

• A deeper understanding of how radio integrates with today’s digital landscape.
