GRAY MEDIA SALES TRAINING PROGRAM (FALL '26) - KCTV
About The Position
The Gray Media Sales Training Program is a 10-week, hands-on, real-world experience designed to teach interns the fundamentals of media sales and help them build transferable skills.

The program aims to teach participants how to confidently start conversations with clients, sell multi-platform advertising solutions, build and present winning pitches, and manage a pipeline to grow revenue. Many interns transition into full-time roles upon completion.
