  • Keep detailed logs and documentation on air discrepancies, timing, and run times.
  • Communicate clearly and consistently with team members and management to support smooth shift transitions.
  • Stay sharp and adaptable in a mission-critical, fast-moving environment.

What We're Looking For:
  • Experience in Master Control operations or broadcast environments (1+ year preferred).
  • Familiarity with live event production, news switching, and local station workflows is a plus.
  • Exceptional attention to detail with the ability to juggle multiple feeds and priorities.
  • Understanding of broadcast technology including automation systems, switchers, servers, and signal monitoring tools.
  • Knowledge of industry standards related to audio, video, closed captioning, and loudness compliance.
  • Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to stay calm under pressure.
  • Willingness to work any shift in a 24/7 operation, including weekends and holidays.
  • Experience with Amagi CLOUDPORT or similar cloud-based playout systems is a strong plus.
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Office and general computer applications.

Why Join Sinclair?
