A team-first mindset and strong work ethic

Qualifications

High school diploma required; college coursework or degree in a related field preferred

Familiarity with digital video/audio tools a plus
Basic knowledge of Microsoft Office and file-based workflows

Why WDRB is a Great Place to Start Your Career

Opportunities to grow into roles such as Technical Director, Director, or Photographer
Work at the #1 news station in the market with the largest news team in Kentucky & Indiana
Contribute to 9.5 hours of weekday newscasts and impactful investigative journalism
A no-ego, team-first culture —often described as the “unicorn” newsroom

Benefits & Compensation:

Low-cost family health benefits including Medical, Dental, and Vision
Company-paid Health Savings Account
100% employer-paid Life, Short-Term Disability, and Long-Term Disability
Generous 6% employer 401(k) match
