KPRC 2 is compiling a dream team to create, launch and execute a pioneering news accountability show. This is your chance to be part of something really special.
The person in this role will work a traditional nightside shift, but the work you’ll be doing will be anything but traditional. This producer will create solution-oriented content for our revamped 10pm. Forget the VO’s, VOSOT’s and PKG’s you might be used to. Our storytelling will be different. This producer will also play pivotal role in growing the digital presence of the show. Many have tried this full-circle approach. Many have failed. We won’t. You won’t.
You’ll join an already-stacked team. Each member has decades of experience. You’ll be working and running in lockstep with veteran reporters, producers, an Executive Producer, an Executive Reporter, and a Manager of Content and Coverage.
