About the role

KMBC-TV, the ABC affiliate in Kansas City, seeks a Local News Producer with creative vision to craft meaningful newscasts. You will select, research, and write content for live broadcasts, guide reporters, and coordinate a team of anchors, meteorologists, and editors to deliver a compelling experience. The role requires newsroom experience, strong writing and copy-editing skills, the ability to manage multiple crews, and dedication to journalistic integrity.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
