  • Work collaboratively with producers, directors, and on-air talent
  • Take on new production tasks as you grow into the role

Qualifications:

  • Interest in television production, broadcast operations, or media careers
  • Strong communication skills and the ability to follow directions under pressure
  • Dependable, detail-oriented, and eager to learn new skills
  • Must have flexible availability, including early mornings, evenings, weekends, and holidays
  • Prior experience in video production or studio tech is a plus—but not required

Why Join WAND-TV?

  • Get your foot in the door in the fast-paced world of live broadcast television
  • Gain valuable experience for future roles in news production, technical directing, or video editing
  • Work as part of a close-knit, mission-driven team
  • Be part of a respected local news station that values quality journalism and employee development
  • The expected pay range for this position is $15-$16 hourly.
