About Gray Television:Gray Television is a leading media company that owns and operates high-quality stations in 113 television markets that collectively reach 36 percent of US television households.
We constantly strive for excellence. Through upgrading to the latest technology and seeking new ways to stay on top in our markets, we focus on training and development of the best and brightest employees in the business.
About WSAZ:WSAZ covers a wide, diverse area comprised of three states. Many small towns sit along the Ohio River and smaller rivers and streams run through rolling hills. Our viewers and customers are extremely friendly and down-to-earth. Although we're not a major metropolitan region, the WSAZ market enjoys relatively proximity to many large eastern cities and is easily accessible by interstate, rail, river, and air.
We enjoy all four seasons and the activities that come with each. Nature is always a short distance away, with many surrounding state parks and lakes for recreation. Within the larger towns and cities, there is a vibrant nightlife with many outstanding restaurants and local festivals throughout the year.

There is a culture within our walls that recognizes the responsibility we carry, to continue what was started more than sixty years ago.

Job Summary/Description:For nearly 75 years, WSAZ has been a constant in the lives of our viewers, but we have to give them reasons to watch – local weather they can't find anywhere else. Our viewers embrace our talent because we show them we care. WSAZ is looking to continue that tradition as it hires a new meteorologist.
