What makes TV News Gigs different than searching for jobs on my own?We have jobs you won’t find on major job boards. Newsrooms send us their jobs or post them directly on TVNewsGigs.com, so you’ll find the latest job postings around the clock.
What will I get with my membership?For as low as $7.95, you will get access to updated job postings direct from newsrooms around the country. You can search for jobs by type, market size, and/or salary range. Subscribe for only a week, or take your time to search through the continuously updated job postings. We have memberships for any budget and timeframe
How does TV News Gigs save me time?You can come to one place to find job listings in newsrooms around the country instead of searching through multiple stations’ Web sites for their current openings. You can save even more time with a membership to TV News Gigs’ Go Tapeless or Digital Agent. You won’t have to dub tapes or get them to the post office to mail. And with no need to buy tapes and pay for postage, Go Tapeless or Digital Agent can even save you money too.
What is TV News Gigs’ Go Tapeless or Digital Agent?With a Go Tapeless membership, you will upload your resume and headshot to our site, while mailing your resume video to us. We will then create your very own web page including all of three so that you will have a link you can send directly to TV stations when you are applying for jobs. Your Go Tapeless membership also allows you to have access to the job listings so you can find the places you want to send your exclusive web page!

With a one-month or three-month membership to TV News Gigs’ Digital Agent you can sit back and let it work for you. With so many other applicants mailing resume tapes, news directors’ desks get full fast. Cut through the clutter by getting your name to the top of the pile with Digital Agent. Pick the markets you want to work in and Digital Agent does the rest. Digital Agent allows you to upload your resume (.doc) and a headshot (.jpg). You mail us your resume video and then Digital Agent sends your info right to the news director’s inbox when there is a posting on TVNewsGigs.com that matches the markets and job type you have chosen. News directors can click the link sent to them to view your resume and video clip. Each week we will let you know where your resume has landed. Then you can follow up with those stations. TV News Gigs does not negotiate nor represent any members.
