JIM MADALINSKY
Sports Director

"I grew up just outside of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania where I quickly developed a passion for sports and the colors black and gold. After realizing that I was not blessed with the skills to be a professional athlete, I turned to reporting and have loved it ever since.

Before making my way to Minot, I attended Kent State University in northeast Ohio where I earned my degree in Broadcast Journalism. There I had a chance to work as the assignment editor and sports reporter for our student-run television station and gain valuable experience with some great people. I interned with the sports department at the WEWS News Channel 5 in Cleveland, Ohio where my desire to be a part of this business continued to grow.

In my spare time I enjoy being a fan and cheering on the black and gold of Pittsburgh sports.

I'm excited to join the team at KMOT, and look forward to getting to know the city of Minot and its citizens."
