There is an opening at a Landmark station, WTVF in Nashville, TN for an overnight photog.
Why in the world would a person want to do that? Am I nuts?
Well, I’m the overnighter at WTVF now, and we’re looking for good photogs.

WTVF is a well known, NPPA shop of the year with POYs (Ted ‘Bud’ Nelson) and other incredible photogs. Good benefits, and a powerful staff.

I went to WTVF as a overnight shooter, and got an opportunity to move up. It helped me survive the Young debacle. It saved my career.

There is no Shangri-La in the news business, but as far as the treatment goes, WTVF is as fair, and reasonable, as they can possibly come. It’s also the number one station in the market, so it doesn’t spend it’s days chasing it’s tail, like a number two or three. It leads.
It has interesting perks like, “Win every show in a book? The entire staff gets a paid day off.” It happens at WTVF more than you could imagine.
The overnight position is no joke. WTVF has one of the highest rated per capita morning shows in the country. We’re talking top five, every year. Some years, number one.

Even as an overnighter, I have shot a LOT of footage that has ended up on the nationals, and even 60 Minutes (when then network asks for a shooter from WTVF, they know they can trust to get back quality tape).

This is a station that treats staff members like they have a brain, and listens.
It has high standards. It takes them seriously. It expects a lot.
Unlike the daily ritual at some other stations of, “why are we doing this story?” You don’t hardly ever go through that at WTVF.
It is perpetually a day ahead of the competition.
It has a stack of Emmys every cycle, and it is starting to get a stack of DuPont, Peabody, and Murrow awards every cycle.

Want more information. E-Mail Alex. And here’s all the openings at WTVF, Newschannel 5. There’s a handful.
