Job Description

WAND-TV, the NBC affilliate serving Central Illinois, is seeking a Part-Time Production Assistant to join our dynamic news production team. This is an exciting entry-level opportunity to launch your career in broadcast television, studio production, and live news. Video production and television studio experience is plus, but not required. We'll train the right candidate who's enthusiastic, dependable, and ready to learn.

WAND-TV is owned by Block Communications, Inc., a private family-owned media company committed to high-quality journalism, innovation, and supporting employee growth. If you're passionate about media and want to gain hands-on experience in television broadcasting, this could be the perfect fit.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Operate studio cameras and assist with live and recorded newscasts
  • Support studio operations, including lighting, staging, and teleprompter use
  • Learn the daily workflow of a professional television newsroom
  • Work collaboratively with producers, directors, and on-air talent
  • Take on new production tasks as you grow into the role

Qualifications:

  • Interest in television production, broadcast operations, or media careers
  • Strong communication skills and the ability to follow directions under pressure
  • Dependable, detail-oriented, and eager to learn new skills
  • Must have flexible availability, including early mornings, evenings, weekends, and holidays
  • Prior experience in video production or studio tech is a plus—but not required

Why Join WAND-TV?

  • Get your foot in the door in the fast-paced world of live broadcast television
  • Gain valuable experience for future roles in news production, technical directing, or video editing
  • Work as part of a close-knit, mission-driven team
  • Be part of a respected local news station that values quality journalism and employee development
  • The expected pay range for this position is $15-$16 hourly.

WAND-TV is an award-winning station, centrally located in Decatur and is in a tri-phenated market. The Illinois capital is to the west and the world-renowned University of Illinois to the east. The cost of living is low, recently ranked 3rd most affordable city in the country. It has great schools and a low crime rate.

Decatur's central location means it's a short drive to Chicago, St. Louis or Indianapolis.
