New jobs posted to TVNewsCheck’s Media Job Center include openings for a general manager, assistant news director, executive producer, news producers, sales director, digital sales, meteorologists, engineers, and reporters in 12 different markets.

NOTE: Inspired by broadcasters offering free ads to support local businesses during the pandemic, TVNewsCheck is offering its MediaJobCenter to employers free for the month of April. Many broadcasters have taken advantage of the offer, and were especially surprised to see the videos and pictures of their market included in the ads.

That looks AMAZING!!!! So much better than what I normally post.

Finding candidates is so difficult and this exposure will surely help.

TVNewsCheck is now on my resource list for future postings.

Here are the openings in alphabetical order by market:
