Producer Job Description
The team at FOX23/KOKI in Tulsa wants someone who wants to produce newscasts that make a difference to viewers and someone who is dedicated to journalism. We will help you grow. In the last six months two of our producers have gone onto top ten markets (BTW this was each of their first producing jobs out of college) and several more have been promoted to Executive Producer. I cannot promise that will happen to you, but I can promise that we will help teach you as much as we can about producing newscasts. We have a team that constantly works to improve. Our team is dedicated to putting on – as our slogan says – “News That Matters.”
Tulsa is a great place to live and work. Tulsa is large enough to get that big city vibe, but also small enough that give you many of the big city, and it’s a lot less expensive than many other parts of the country. If you are smart and dedicated, you will be a great fit for the team.
