DIGITAL NEWS HOST/ANCHOR - KLTV
About The Position
This is a unique position. For the last nine years, KLTV/KTRE has operated a successful, live digital broadcast from our newsroom.

This is an established, mature streaming production that has served as the model for many others in the industry. The hosts produce, present, and technically direct their shows every day using a special interface developed for and with the input of KLTV/KTRE. East Texas Now is live each day on desktop, mobile devices, in our apps, and on Amazon Fire and Roku OTT devices.
