Streaming Producer, TEGNA Central Desk

TEGNA, the parent company of 64 television stations in 51 U.S. markets, is looking for an innovative, experienced television producer to develop newscasts for the company’s OTT streaming platforms. Streaming is a strategic priority for the company as we evolve to meet the needs of audiences seeking timely information on breaking and developing news and severe weather on the platform they need it most.
