About the Role

FOX6 is part of the FOX Television Stations group, which collectively produces approximately 1,200 hours of local news programming each week across 29 stations nationwide. The Producer on this morning broadcast television team is responsible for the editorial and structural decisions that define each show, working across live news production, breaking coverage, and digital and streaming extensions of the broadcast.

• Apply non-linear editing skills as needed to support the production of segments for both linear broadcast and digital newscasts.

What You Bring

• Demonstrated news judgment in a live broadcast television environment, including breaking news situations that require rapid rundown changes.
