JOB DESCRIPTION

FOX 35 Orlando is looking for a versatile, high-energy Host/Producer to join our rapidly growing live streaming platform, FOX Local Orlando. In this dynamic nights-and-weekends role, you’ll get the best of both worlds: stepping into the spotlight to host live coverage while rolling up your sleeves to produce behind the scenes.

We are searching for a true conversationalist—a journalist who thrives in the fast pace of breaking news, doesn't rely on a teleprompter, and knows how to connect with viewers on a personal, human level.

What You'll Do:

• Own the Stream: Serve as the face and voice of our night and weekend streaming audience, balancing real-time, "happening right now" updates with forward-thinking, creative content.
• Keep It Conversational: Ditch the script. Talk with our audience, not at them, driving engagement during both daily news and breaking, unscripted events.
• Master the Tech: We will train you to operate a TriCaster, empowering you to independently produce, direct, and anchor your very own streaming broadcasts.
• Be a Team Player: Seamlessly transition between leading your own live, on-air coverage and jumping in to support your teammates behind the camera.

What You'll Need: 

• Strong knowledge of current events
• Proven ability to communicate clearly and confidently both on-air and behind the scenes in a fast-paced, unscripted breaking news environment.
• Excellent editorial judgment, research skills, and attention to detail.
• Basic experience with digital news production, live streaming workflows, and newsroom technologies.  Familiarity of TriCasdter a plus, but willingness and ability to learn technology quickly is a must. 
• Strong organizational and planning skills, with the ability to manage multiple priorities and think several steps ahead.
• Ability to thrive under pressure and pivot quickly as news develops.
• Strong communication and collaboration skills.
• Flexibility to work varied hours, weekends, and holidays as news demands.
