About The Position

TEGNA Inc. (NYSE: TGNA) helps people thrive in their local communities by providing the trusted local news and services that matter most. With 64 television stations in 51 U.S. markets, TEGNA reaches more than 100 million people monthly across the web, mobile apps, streaming, and linear television. Together, we are building a sustainable future for local news.
TEGNA and WFAA are launching a bold, digital first, daily sports CTV streaming show and we are looking for a driven Associate Sports Producer to help build it from the ground up.

This is a full time, 6 month pilot position with the opportunity to help shape the format, voice, and growth strategy of a premium CTV streaming show built for the Dallas Fort Worth sports audience.

This pilot is modeled after a proven TEGNA sports streaming show that has generated tens of millions of views and built a highly engaged subscriber base. We are looking for someone who wants to help build the next one.

If you think outside the box, thrive in a team environment, and want to help define the future of sports streaming - this is the job you’ve been waiting for.
