Some Presenters work on a range of programs others specialize in a particular type, such as current affairs. Some Presenters achieve celebrity status and command high salaries, but life in the public gaze is not always desirable. The work may be studio based or on location. Most are employed on short contracts and the hours can be long and unsociable. Presenters work across the whole spectrum of broadcasting - national and regional television and radio, satellite and cable channels - and also in the non broadcast sector, e.g., training and corporate productions. As the number of channels and radio stations increases, so do the openings, but opportunities to become a Presenter are still scarce and competition is fierce.

They introduce and host programs, read the news, interview people and report on issues and events.

Anchor/Presenters work at the front line of television and radio.
