Job Description
FOX 13 and FOX 13+, the FOX Television Stations Owned & Operated duopoly in Seattle, WA is seeking an experienced newscast director to direct various live programs.
- The successful candidate will be in the hot seat during newscasts, sports shows, and other live programming as warranted – using Ross Automation, iNews, Chyron and other broadcast software and hardware.
- The director will direct specific shows regularly, while assisting or backing up other shows on the same shift – whether as an AD, audio operator or other role.
- Other daily duties will include prepping the studio for live broadcasts, maintaining audio equipment like mics and IFB’s, and envisioning creative ways to use our studios and control rooms.
Directors at FOX 13 are leaders and collaborators on our news team.
- The successful candidate will communicate well under pressure.
- The control room setting can be hectic at times, but the right director is always calmly in control.
- Must have experience directing live daily newscasts on an automation system and be comfortable during unscripted moments like breaking news or other live events.
- This is a full-time, regular shift, but the news business is a 24/7 world and schedules can occasionally change due to vacation relief, breaking news, or other staffing requirements.
