JOB DESCRIPTION

FOX 26 KRIV, the O & O in Houston, TX, is looking for a fun, creative person with the vision and a passion for producing original content that airs on FOX26 Houston, the FOX Local app, and possibly on FOX Soul. The ideal candidate will THINK BIG, and will be knowledgeable about entertainment, alternative lifestyles, pop culture, social media, and streaming platforms.

You must be a self-starter who can think outside of the box and won't be afraid to push the limits when it comes to creating original content. On top of that, it's essential to be a team player, and bring a "can-do personality" every single day. We're a tight-knit team and have high expectations when it comes to our content. We're always looking for ways to ELEVATE our shows and be the GOLD STANDARD in the Houston market.

As part of the FOX family, you will enjoy generous paid time off (like as soon as you walk in the door), full salary replacement for short-term disability and parental leave, 401k with matching, robust employee resources, discounts at some of the other largest companies in the country, and resources to grow as a FOX employee.

RESPONSIBILITES

If you have a track record of creating and building amazing non-traditional shows, let's talk! This position oversees the creation of rundowns for our entertainment & infotainment shows, including Chattin' With Chelsea, The Nightcap, The Isiah Factor:

Uncensored and more! It's a one-of-a-kind opportunity, and we have fun, and work hard. We are on the front-line of a changing industry and want to make sure the newest member of our team is thinking about the now and even more importantly, thinking about the future.

What new technology is out there, and how do we stay relevant to our ever-changing audience? This position will primarily focus on our new 30-minute daytime variety talk show, Chattin' With Chelsea, but we often work together between both shows and on any new fun content we may come up with.

Do you enjoy collaborating with others on the team? This is the place to do it!

We implore our team members to color outside of the lines and try new things! You will always be given the tools to test out that creative spirit! This role doesn't keep you stuck at a desk all day long.

Our management team encourages you to get out in the community, go to different events and be in the know in the Houston-area community. Is there a big event, with big names that you want to rub elbows with? Then do it!

We want to make sure people know what our shows are and know our hosts of the shows. Plus, it always is great to build those contacts to help bring guests on the shows.

You will be part of the Local-Programming Initiatives (LPI) team, which falls under the News Department. The LPI group has had the opportunity to create some of the highest-watched programming including our locally produced New Years Eve show.

Our shows aren't just in Houston! Both The Nightcap and Isiah Factor:

Uncensored are seen nationally on FOX Soul.

This is a great opportunity for someone who wants to showcase their creative abilities on-air and on digital platforms.

Additionally, our teams will help with traditional news on major stories, including, but not limited to hurricane coverage.

QUALIFICATIONS

The ideal candidate will have at least 2-3 years of producing experience. We use iNews to produce our shows, so some knowledge with that is preferred; but don't worry, if you're not familiar with iNews, we will train you to excel with that program.

The ideal candidate will also be familiar with social media, and searching for those unique topics that will air in the shows. The ideal candidate will also be a natural leader and will help lead the Chattin' With Chelsea team, and work on other shows and projects.

Additionally, you must have strong communication skills with show hosts, directors, Executive Producer, and the rest of the management team.
