WBRC 6 News is expanding its live streaming strategy - and we're looking for a creative, driven Streaming Producer and Host to help build the future of how our audience consumes local news.

This is not a traditional line-producer role.

- Work closely with anchors to shape tone, pacing, and digital storytelling
- Integrate breaking news, investigative reporting, weather, and community segments
- Monitor real-time analytics and adjust content strategy accordingly
- Collaborate with digital and broadcast teams to maximize reach

What Makes This Role Different:
- You'll help shape the show's identity - not just fill time
- You'll experiment with format, pacing, and audience interaction
- You'll help build appointment viewing in a growing streaming environment
- You'll have leadership support to innovate
- This is a chance to build something meaningful in a newsroom that takes streaming seriously.
