Regional Streaming Director
Job Description
FOX Television Stations is growing its streaming operation, and the Florida region is a critical part of that growth. This role sits at the center of that effort — serving as the streaming authority for FOX Tampa (WTVT) and FOX Orlando (WOFL), responsible for building and evolving a high-performing local streaming operation across both markets.
Reporting
This position works in close partnership with FTS Streaming and weather leadership to align regional execution with broader FTS strategy and the Executive Producers of both FL stations. As the streaming team grows and the business evolves, so will this role — expanding in scope, team size, and responsibility.
A Snapshot of Your Responsibilities
Lead with a streaming-first mindset across both newsrooms, driving editorial vision, cultural adoption, and a commitment to continuous content improvement.
Make fast, sound editorial decisions in breaking news environments, balancing urgency with accuracy.
Manage and evolve streaming programming schedules across Tampa and Orlando, working toward expanded hours and a long-term 24/7 weather and streaming operation at both stations.
Elevate content quality at every level — from live breaking news to long-form storytelling — with an eye toward what works for a streaming-native audience.
Operate fluidly across digital and streaming, shaping content intentionally for each format and platform.
Motivate, coach, and develop a team of streaming journalists and producers in Tampa, and support alignment with the Orlando & Tampa Executive Producers of Streaming.
Partner with the station and FTS Executive Director of Streaming to identify opportunities to grow the team and the operation over time.
Own streaming performance data and reporting for the FL region across all platforms — including FOX Local CTV, FAST channels, YouTube, social video, and weather.
Produce regular growth reports for both stations, surfacing trends, opportunities, and areas that need attention.
Use real-time and historical data to inform editorial decisions, optimize audience engagement, and support the case for expanded resources and investment in the region.
Provide regular performance and strategy updates to FTS Streaming leadership to ensure regional activity is visible and aligned with company goals.
Master and expand the use of TriCaster and all streaming production technology across both markets.
Maintain a comprehensive understanding of the full streaming distribution landscape — CTV, FAST channels, OTT platforms, social video, and mobile apps — and ensure both stations are operating effectively across all surfaces.
Prioritize the CTV viewer experience: ensure content is surfaced intentionally, programming decisions are made with audience growth in mind, and both stations are actively working to drive viewers toward longer-form, high-value content.
Stay attuned to how platforms, discovery mechanisms, and viewer habits are shifting, and bring that awareness into day-to-day and long-term planning.
Serve as the regional expert on streaming industry trends — platform evolution, audience behavior, competitive landscape, and emerging opportunities.
Develop and execute short- and long-term streaming growth strategies for the FL region, aligned with FTS goals and built to adapt as the industry and business change.
Collaborate across FOX and with external content partners, contributors, and creators to expand live coverage opportunities.
