  • Use computers and digital tools including for downloading promotional or client materials and performing other multimedia tasks.
  • Support various technical and production needs as assigned by the Technical Operations Manager.

Requirements

  • Hands-on experience as an Operations Technician or in a similar role at a commercial television or public access station.
  • Strong understanding of broadcast signal flow, production switchers, audio consoles, and control room systems.
  • Ability to thrive in a live, deadline-driven broadcast environment.
  • Flexibility to work early mornings, late nights, overnights, weekends, and holidays.
  • Related military broadcast or technical experience will be considered.

Salary

The estimated base hourly range for this role is between $27.55/hour and $49.84/hour.  The actual base pay offered is dependent upon many factors, such as transferable skills, work experience, business needs, market demands and conditions, including geographic location where the work will be performed, and other factors permitted by law.
