Sports Content Producer

Nexstar Media Group is seeking a creative journalist to lead the development of innovative sports content across its local station group. This is a unique opportunity to shape the future of sports content at one of the largest media groups in the U.S. You’ll be part of a forward-thinking corporate team, creating content that reaches audiences across the group and drives engagement on all platforms. This is not a traditional sports reporting or producing role – if your focus is reading highlights and covering games, this position is not for you. We’re looking for a self-starting content creator who can produce compelling video segments for all platforms including broadcast specials, connected TV (CTV) and digital platforms, with a focus on original, news-generating sports content.

Key Responsibilities :

• Contribute to major company initiatives including the Super Bowl, Olympics, College Football and Basketball, NASCAR, PGA Golf, and other marquee events.
• Produce broadcast special programs on athletes, teams, and major events.
• Build and maintain positive relationships with stakeholders within Nexstar’s local sports teams to scale coverage opportunities.
• Coordinate with local stations to leverage resources and talent for content creation.
• Pitch and produce sales-integrated programming to support local market revenue goals.
• Plan and execute daily live video programming, including coverage of breaking sports news.
• Independently host, switch, edit, and upload daily and special project video content using OBS.
• Set up interviews, gather b-roll and visual elements, and prepare rundowns or scripts as needed.
