When the studio lights turn on and the countdown begins, the studio floor needs a steady hand. We are seeking a highly motivated, adaptable Studio Technician (Per Diem) to join our production crew.

This part-time, as-needed position is perfect for an up-and-coming production professional who thrives under the pressure of a live control room and wants to master the physical and technical operations of a major market studio floor. Your schedule will vary week-to-week, providing vital vacation coverage, holiday support, and breaking news reinforcement.

The Role: What You'll Do

You will be the vital link between the control room director and the on-air talent, ensuring the physical environment matches the fast-paced nature of a live broadcast.

  • Floor Directing: Serve as the primary Floor Director for live newscasts and pre-taped specials, managing talent cueing, blocking, and timing.

  • Talent Management: Take responsibility for getting anchors, reporters, and studio guests to their precise positions safely and on time.

  • Camera Operations: Target and calibrate Vinten robotic pedestals and step up to operate our JIB camera setups for dynamic on-air sweeping shots.

  • Lighting Board Control: Operate the ETC lighting board to manage studio cues and maintain the visual quality of the broadcast.

  • Prompter Operations: Load scripts, check equipment functionality, and smoothly operate the teleprompter system on deadline.

  • Rundown Fluency: Read, interpret, and track live production rundowns, instantly adapting to automated or manual script changes as they happen.

What You Bring to the Table

We are looking for a nimble multi-tasker who retains information quickly and stays calm when the rundown changes mid-show.

  • Live Crew Experience: A baseline understanding of studio environments, hand signals, and live television rhythms.

  • Communication: Strong oral and written communication skills to direct talent and collaborate with the control room under tight time constraints.

  • Technical Aptitude: Strong general computer literacy and an eagerness to learn high-end broadcast hardware.

  • Extreme Flexibility: High availability to accommodate a varying schedule, including early mornings, nights, weekends, and holidays.

Education & Experience

Experience: Minimum of two (2) years of experience working in a television station, with at least one (1) year specifically spent as part of a live newscast crew.

  • Education: High school diploma or GED required; a college or university degree in a related field is a plus.

  • Bonus Skills: Prior experience operating a Steadicam or managing robotic camera arrays is a major advantage.

Why Join Our Crew?

This per diem role drops you straight into the action of a premier Top 10 market station. It is an exceptional footprint-building opportunity where you can hone your skills on top-tier equipment like Vinten and ETC systems, learn from seasoned industry veterans, and establish yourself within our production team.

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 $22.00 per hour.
