OVERVIEW OF THE COMPANY
Fox TV Stations
FOX Television Stations owns and operates 29 full power broadcast television stations in the U.S. These include stations located in 14 of the top 15 largest designated market areas, or DMAs, and duopolies in 11 DMAs, including the three largest DMAs (New York, Los Angeles and Chicago). Of these stations, 18 are affiliated with the FOX Network. In addition to distributing sports, entertainment and syndicated content, our television stations collectively produce approximately 1,200 hours of local news every week. These stations leverage viewer, distributor and advertiser demand for the FOX Network’s national content.
KTBC/ FOX-7 is re-imagining how local news is gathered and delivered. We no longer wait for appointed times to deliver content. We're a STREAMING FIRST news organization. As we continue to evolve, we’re hiring a News Reporter with fill-in anchor potential who has a passion for creating content across live streaming news programs, digital news sites, social media platforms and linear news broadcasts.
To be successful in this role, you’ll need to have already evolved your mindset beyond linear television thinking and workflows. You should have a demonstrated track record of executing non-traditional storytelling formats using video, text, graphics and music. The content you create will be designed for our live stream, website, Linear News and social platforms. To boil it down even further: We’re not big on traditional old school TV news packages and we challenge our content creators to tell stories for all platforms.
You’ll be a part of our highly successful morning news team, taking ownership of the day’s big stories, in the field and in-studio. While your content will be distributed to digital and social platforms first, on most days you’ll also appear on linear broadcasts and streaming news shows.
A minimum of 3 years of experience as a reporter and anchor will get you noticed. A reel that demonstrates your ability to shoot, edit and produce content will move you up the list even further. A robust social media footprint, focused primarily on news-related social media content is a non-negotiable must-have.
We are an equal opportunity employer and all qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, gender identity, disability, protected veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by law. We will consider for employment qualified applicants with criminal histories consistent with applicable law.
Pursuant to state and local pay disclosure requirements, the pay rate/range for this role, with final offer amount dependent on education, skills, experience, and location is $55,000.00-60,000.00 annually. This role is also eligible for various benefits, including medical/dental/vision, insurance, a 401(k) plan, paid time off, and other benefits in accordance with applicable plan documents. Benefits for Union represented employees will be in accordance with the applicable collective bargaining agreement.
