Qualifications/Requirements:
▪️ KTTC News at 5pm is a ratings leader in our market. This position is suited for someone who has some experience anchoring a newscast. The ideal candidate will be able to enterprise timely, relevant content for KTTC viewers, manage their time effectively, and handle breaking news calmly. A large part of this job will involve using the KTTC News Now digital studio, an innovative set that allows one anchor the ability to control cameras, audio, video, live feeds and conduct virtual interviews all on their own. We will train you to use the digital studio, but some tech-savvy is helpful.
▪️ Strong writing skills are encouraged. Our newsroom uses ENPS and Edius software. Experience with either is a bonus, but not required. We will train you on how to use both.
