Full Job Description
KGET in Bakersfield is looking for a leader for our market-dominant morning show. We are NBC, Nexstar and Market 125, about 100 miles north of Los Angeles. Our multiple-Emmy winning morning show is designed to have an appropriate mix of overnight hard news and features aimed at keeping the viewers' families happy and healthy. * This producer is the lynchpin of a team that provides the top-rated morning show in our market. * The newscast is 5 - 7 a.m. * KGET is the legacy No. 1 station in our market, and this show is one reason. Our 5 a.m. viewership is typically higher than the 5 p.m. of other stations. For us that’s true across all dayparts: We beat the combined ratings of our competition at every hour. The only newscast that beats 17News@Sunrise all day long is 17News@5 p.m. We earn those ratings every day by sticking to our everyday values. Honesty and accuracy are our religion. Execution is our scripture. The Sunrise producer arrives at our downtown station at midnight to take the handoff from our 11 p.m. producer/anchor. The Sunrise producer builds an hour-long newscast emphasizing local news of special interest to moms and families. That 5 – 6 a.m. block is updated, polished and augmented to build the 6 – 7 a.m. block. * * There are two news anchors and a weather anchor on Sunrise. There is no EP – the producer and the anchors work collaboratively to create the show. * An associate producer works the desk from 2 -11 a.m., making beat calls and writing the late-in-the-newscast blocks. * There is an A-block first-forecast followed a little later with a more detailed look at temps in our 8,000-square-mile viewership. One in-studio guest in the 5 o’clock hour promotes some worthy cause or another, and an in-studio “newsmaker” in the 6 o’clock hour is more newsy. Think Meet The Press. This newscast is aimed at moms, but it’s a real newscast, not a female-oriented chat show. We do our share of water cooler stories and cute-pet videos, but we're aiming for stories th
