Executive Producer, Streaming Content

This is a Full Time Job

As Executive Producer, Streaming, you'll lead the expansion of streaming content across PM and weekend hours, providing dedicated leadership for these growing dayparts. You'll collaborate with anchors, reporters, producers, and digital journalists to develop focused, live programming built for the way people watch now - live, on demand, and on every screen. This includes developing live debate formats, newsmaker interviews, interactive viewer segments, and other original programming during hours when live event feeds may not be readily available.

This is an off-camera leadership position focused on programming, production, and strategy rather than hosting. You'll serve as a key owner of the station's CTV experience, ensuring FOX LOCAL programming, content shelves, live coverage, and sponsorship opportunities are updated, strategically positioned, and aligned with what audiences want to watch. Your leadership will help FOX 35 expand its streaming presence across multiple dayparts while creating a consistent, engaging experience for viewers across Central Florida.

• Lead Daypart Expansion: Oversee and develop streaming content specifically for PM and weekend hours, building a clear programming strategy for these dayparts.
• Develop Original Live Programming: Create focused programming such as live debates, newsmaker interviews, interactive viewer segments, and other formats designed specifically for streaming audiences.
• Own the CTV Experience: Oversee the station's CTV presence, ensuring FOX LOCAL programming, content shelves, and live offerings are current, relevant, and positioned around viewer interests.
• Champion Innovation: Drive the evolution of local news for streaming, FAST channels, CTV, and social platforms.
• Collaborate Across the Newsroom: Partner with teams across the newsroom to produce live coverage, original features, breaking news, and special programming tailored for streaming and digital audiences.
• Shape the Strategy: Develop a forward-thinking content approach that blends live, on-demand, and social-first storytelling across multiple dayparts.
• Drive Audience Interaction: Develop programming that encourages real-time viewer participation and creates opportunities for audiences to actively engage with live content.
• Enhance Viewer Experience: Experiment with new formats and technologies to deliver visually engaging, high-impact news experiences.
• Use Data to Drive Decisions: Analyze performance metrics and audience behavior to inform programming, placement, and content decisions and grow engagement.
• Support Revenue Opportunities: Collaborate with appropriate teams to identify and support sponsorship opportunities within streaming programming while maintaining editorial standards.
• Elevate the Brand: Ensure content reflects high editorial and production standards across digital and streaming platforms.

WHAT YOU WILL NEED
• A bachelor's degree in Journalism, Communications, Digital Media, or a related field, or equivalent demonstrated experience.
• Proven experience producing or leading content for streaming, digital, or social platforms.
• Leadership experience developing programming, managing content strategy, or overseeing newsroom production.
• Strong editorial judgment and the ability to make fast, accurate decisions in a live news environment.
• A deep understanding of how audiences engage with news across platforms - from connected TVs to mobile and social.

NICE TO HAVE, BUT NOT A DEALBREAKER

• Local News Expertise: Experience working in a fast-paced local newsroom and a strong understanding of how to identify, prioritize, and tell stories that matter to the community.

• Visual Storytelling Skills: A strong eye for dynamic visuals and creative presentation, with an understanding of how to produce compelling content for connected TV, mobile, and social platforms.
