LIFESTYLE PRODUCER/VIDEOGRAPHER - KTTC Job at Gray Television in Rochester

Job Summary/Description

“Midwest Access” is unlike any show in the Rochester, Minnesota TV market. Airing weekdays at 4 p.m., “Midwest Access” covers everything from healthy eating to the newest business opening in our area.

We expect the producer/videographer of this show to work together with the show’s anchor in developing engaging and dynamic LIVE moments. This position requires solid content editing skills on all types of daily lifestyle stories and must be able to manage their time effectively, be a meticulous planner, and have an eye on what’s important to our viewers.
