OVERVIEW OF THE COMPANY
Fox TV StationsFOX Television Stations (FTS) owns and operates 29 full power broadcast television stations, including stations in 14 of the top 15 markets and duopolies in 11. Eighteen are FOX Network affiliates, and together the stations produce approximately 1,300 hours of local news every week. FOX LOCAL, the company's free ad-supported digital and streaming product, extends that news, weather and local content across connected TV & mobile devices. LiveNOW from FOX expands the FTS portfolio even further as the only national streaming services to be truly live 24/7, covering breaking news and events as they happen.Do you understand how audiences consume news today — on their phones, through streaming apps, social feeds, and connected TVs? Are you driven to create storytelling that meets viewers wherever they are? If you’re ready to help reinvent how local news connects with a digital-first audience, FOX 35 Orlando wants to hear from you.
As Executive Producer, Streaming, you’ll lead the expansion of streaming content across PM and weekend hours, providing dedicated leadership for these growing dayparts. You’ll collaborate with anchors, reporters, producers, and digital journalists to develop focused, live programming built for the way people watch now — live, on demand, and on every screen. This includes developing live debate formats, newsmaker interviews, interactive viewer segments, and other original programming during hours when live event feeds may not be readily available.
This is an off-camera leadership position focused on programming, production, and strategy rather than hosting. You’ll serve as a key owner of the station’s CTV experience, ensuring FOX LOCAL programming, content shelves, live coverage, and sponsorship opportunities are updated, strategically positioned, and aligned with what audiences want to watch. Your leadership will help FOX 35 expand its streaming presence across multiple dayparts while creating a consistent, engaging experience for viewers across Central Florida.
