Fast Channels Streaming Jobs (NOW HIRING)

OVERVIEW OF THE COMPANY

Fox TV StationsFOX 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.

FOX Television Stations is growing its streaming operation, and the Florida region is a critical part of that growth. This role sits at the center of that effort — serving as the streaming authority for FOX Tampa (WTVT) and FOX Orlando (WOFL), responsible for building and evolving a high-performing local streaming operation across both markets.

Reporting to the News Director(s) at WTVT & WOFL, this position works in close partnership with FTS Streaming and weather leadership to align regional execution with broader FTS strategy and the Executive Producers of both FL stations. As the streaming team grows and the business evolves, so will this role — expanding in scope, team size, and responsibility. The right candidate is someone who is ready to grow with it.

This is a role for a streaming-first leader who understands where the industry is heading, knows how to bring a newsroom along on that journey, and has the editorial instincts, technical fluency, and analytical rigor to drive measurable growth across the full streaming universe — CTV, FAST channels, and social video.

A Snapshot of Your Responsibilities - Editorial & Content Leadership

• Lead with a streaming-first mindset across both newsrooms, driving editorial vision, cultural adoption, and a commitment to continuous content improvement.
• Make fast, sound editorial decisions in breaking news environments, balancing urgency with accuracy.
• Manage and evolve streaming programming schedules across Tampa and Orlando, working toward expanded hours and a long-term 24/7 weather and streaming operation at both stations.
• Elevate content quality at every level — from live breaking news to long-form storytelling — with an eye toward what works for a streaming-native audience.
• Operate fluidly across digital and streaming, shaping content intentionally for each format and platform.

Team Development & Newsroom Adoption

• Motivate, coach, and develop a team of streaming journalists and producers in Tampa, and support alignment with the Orlando & Tampa Executive Producers of Streaming.
• Serve as the leading voice in both newsrooms for streaming adoption — building buy-in, growing participation, and helping teams evolve their workflows and mindset to support expanded streaming output.
• Partner with the station and FTS Executive Director of Streaming to identify opportunities to grow the team and the operation over time.

Analytics & Performance Reporting

• Own streaming performance data and reporting for the FL region across all platforms — including FOX Local CTV, FAST channels, YouTube, social video, and weather.
• Produce regular growth reports for both stations, surfacing trends, opportunities, and areas that need attention.
• Use real-time and historical data to inform editorial decisions, optimize audience engagement, and support the case for expanded resources and investment in the region.
• Provide regular performance and strategy updates to FTS Streaming leadership to ensure regional activity is visible and aligned with company goals.

Technology & Distribution

• Master and expand the use of TriCaster and all streaming production technology across both markets.
• Maintain a comprehensive understanding of the full streaming distribution landscape — CTV, FAST channels, and social video — and ensure both stations are operating effectively across all surfaces.
• Prioritize the CTV viewer experience: ensure content is surfaced intentionally, programming decisions are made with audience growth in mind, and both stations are actively working to drive viewers toward longer-form, high-value content.
• Stay attuned to how platforms, discovery mechanisms, and viewer habits are shifting, and bring that awareness into day-to-day and long-term planning.

Strategy & Industry Awareness

• Serve as the regional expert on streaming industry trends — platform evolution, audience behavior, competitive landscape, and emerging opportunities.
• Develop and execute short- and long-term streaming growth strategies for the FL region, aligned with FTS goals and built to adapt as the industry and business change.
• Collaborate across FOX and with external content partners, contributors, and creators to expand live coverage opportunities.
