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 TriCaster 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.

• Writing Mastery: Flawless writing and copy-editing skills, with proficiency in English grammar and conversational broadcast style.
• Tech-Savvy: Proficiency with video production technology, including non-linear editing (Adobe Premiere Pro) and video switching tools.
• Judgment: Exceptional news and editorial judgment with a deep commitment to ethical integrity.

Physical Requirements & Work Environment

• Physicality: Regularly required to stand, walk, sit, and reach; must be able to lift and/or move up to 40 pounds.
• Vision: Specific vision abilities required include close, distance, and color vision, as well as the ability to adjust focus.
