OVERVIEW OF THE COMPANY

Fox TV Stations

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.

JOB DESCRIPTION

WTVT FOX 13 Tampa is looking for the next generation of streaming talent to help shape the future of local news. We are seeking a digitally native journalist and dynamic on-air personality to produce and host live streaming content for our growing streaming platform, with a primary focus on evening and breaking news coverage.

This is not a traditional television role. We’re looking for someone who understands how audiences consume news on digital platforms, thrives in a live environment, and can create compelling, conversational content without relying on a teleprompter. You’ll be responsible for the end-to-end execution of live streams, serving as both the on-camera host and producer while making smart editorial decisions and engaging viewers in real time.

If you understand streaming workflows, live video production, audience engagement, and breaking news coverage, this is an opportunity to help define the future of local journalism.

Key Responsibilities

Produce and host live streaming programming focused on evening and breaking news coverage.
Own the end-to-end production of live streams and VOD content, including editorial planning, technical execution, and on-air presentation.
Operate streaming production tools including live switching, encoding, clipping, publishing, and real-time troubleshooting.
Engage directly with viewers through live chat and audience interaction to create an authentic, community-driven experience.
Make strong editorial decisions in real time, adjusting coverage as news develops and audience interests evolve.
Collaborate with newsroom leadership, digital, social, assignment desk, producers, and production teams to align coverage and maximize content across platforms.
Pitch original story ideas, cultivate sources, and help shape future streaming coverage alongside newsroom leadership and Streaming Managers.
Conduct interviews with newsmakers, experts, and community leaders during live programming.
Maintain high journalistic standards while ensuring all content meets legal, ethical, and FOX Television Stations guidelines.
Fill time confidently during breaking news, developing situations, or technical interruptions while maintaining viewer engagement.
Occasionally contribute to linear broadcasts as newsroom needs dictate.
Perform other duties as assigned.

Qualifications

Minimum 2 to 3 years of experience in digital news, streaming, reporting, MMJ work, producing, or live content creation preferred.
Strong on-camera presence with the ability to communicate naturally in unscripted live environments.
Demonstrated experience producing digital video, live streams, or social-first news content.
Strong news judgment and the ability to make fast editorial decisions under deadline pressure.
Technical proficiency with live streaming workflows including switching, encoding, publishing, clipping, and distribution. Experience with TriCaster and Adobe Creative Suite is a plus, but the ability to learn new technology quickly is essential.
Experience engaging digital audiences and understanding audience retention across streaming platforms.
Strong communication, collaboration, and organizational skills.
Background in journalism, broadcast media, digital media, or related field.
Bachelor’s degree in Journalism, Communications, or a related field preferred.
Flexibility to work evenings, weekends, holidays, and other non-traditional hours as breaking news demands.

What Will Make You Stand Out

A reel showcasing strong live hosting ability and conversational storytelling.
Experience building streaming communities and engaging audiences in real time.
A passion for experimenting with new storytelling formats and digital platforms.
The ability to seamlessly balance hosting, producing, technical execution, and editorial decision-making during live broadcasts.

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 $90,000.00-100,000.00 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.
