Job Position(s): NBC Sports Bay Area & California - Production Assistant Intern - Summer 2027

NBC Universal is hiring a Production Assistant Intern for NBC Sports Bay Area and California, based in San Francisco, CA for Summer 2027. This internship sits inside the Content group, which owns the daily on-air and digital schedule across two linear networks, covering live regional sports programming for teams including the Golden State Warriors, San Francisco Giants, and San Jose Sharks. It suits a film or television student who wants hands-on exposure to live sports broadcast production, from the edit room to the control room floor.

About the Role

The NBC Sports Bay Area and California Production Assistant Intern role works directly within the Content group, supporting the production of pregame and postgame shows, daily news segments, and digital content across linear television and social platforms. A typical day moves between screening game footage, logging press conferences for edit, assisting Associate Producers in the edit rooms, and helping pull external archival footage to support upcoming broadcasts. The internship runs from June 7 through August 13, 2027, at 16 to 24 hours per week.

Key Responsibilities

• Screen and log games, press conferences, interviews, and taped programs to build a usable paper edit ahead of post-production.
• Research content for on-air graphic boards and create graphics that go directly to air during live regional sports broadcasts.
• Assist ticker operators during live broadcasts, requiring accuracy and familiarity with live television workflow.
• Support Associate Producers inside the edit rooms across pregame and postgame production.
• Prepare, copy, and distribute scripts and programming information to production staff ahead of air.
• Procure footage from external sources, handling the detail work required to clear and deliver broadcast-ready assets.

What You Bring

• Active enrollment in an accredited degree-granting program through the full duration of the internship, with at least sophomore standing and 30 credits completed.
• Junior standing or above is preferred, and a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher is a plus.
• Familiarity with broadcast production workflow, episodic television structure, or live event production from coursework or prior internship credits.
• Bilingual candidates are preferred given the network’s coverage footprint across the Bay Area and Northern California.
• Must be authorized to work for any U.S. employer now and in the future, without requiring visa sponsorship from NBC Universal.
