The Bastion just got off the phone with a nice talent recruitment lady at NBC in New York, and she's asked us to help scare up some talent for two new Chicago-based NBC shows that need hosts.

The weekly shows will focus on real estate and Chicago in general (fun places to visit, interesting things to do), and they are looking for hosts and correspondents who can represent the face of Chicago but who don't necessarily need on-camera experience. They'd like clever, articulate, think-on-your feet types, and we know this describes a lot of you.

Send your reel, resume and headshot to NBC Universal Local Media, Room 2661e 30 Rockefeller Plaza, NY NY 10112, or e-mail it here. Do it soon - they want to hold auditions within a month. And tell them the Bastion sent you!
