Production Assistant, FOX & Friends

FOX News Network is hiring a Production Assistant for FOX & Friends, based in New York, New York. This role sits at the center of live morning television production, supporting segment output across in-studio and remote guest coordination, video editing workflows, and real-time social media content for one of cable’s highest-rated news programs. It suits an early-career broadcast professional who is comfortable in a live television environment and ready to take on producing responsibilities from day one.

About the Role

The Production Assistant, FOX & Friends works within the show’s daily production team on a Saturday through Wednesday schedule, with a 3:00 AM to 11:00 AM ET shift, so this is a role built around the demands of live morning television, not a standard nine-to-five.

FOX News Media reaches 200 million people monthly, and FOX & Friends is the flagship morning program within that operation.

Key Responsibilities

• Coordinate live guests both in studio and on remote, managing logistics from greenroom through on-air appearance.
• Locate, cut, and plug video for broadcast segments, working alongside editors within the live news production workflow.
• Write scripts, banners, and research packets to support segment producers and show hosts.
• Produce content for social media platforms, adapting broadcast material for digital distribution.
• Pitch original story ideas and carry them through the full segment production process from concept to air.
• Coordinate live shots with both studio and field crews, responding to real-time production needs during the broadcast window.

What You Bring

• Prior experience in TV news production or a communications role with direct broadcast exposure.
• Strong digital and social media skills, with working knowledge of how content performs across platforms.
• A bachelor’s degree in journalism or a related field, or equivalent hands-on production experience.
• Availability to start immediately and commit to the Saturday through Wednesday, early morning shift.
• Comfort working directly with on-air talent and high-profile guests in a live television setting.
