KBMT/K-JAC, a TEGNA ABC and NBC affiliate in Beaumont, Texas, is searching for a creative, enterprising Sports Director to lead the station's sports product across every platform. 12NEWS is Southeast Texas' home of the Dallas Cowboys! It is also Cardinals country! Lamar University, a D-1 sports program in the Southland Conference, has highly competitive teams, with rivals nearby. High school sports are a major emphasis for 12NEWS. This is a job for a storyteller who breaks news rather than recaps it, and who understands that today's sports audience finds you on their phone first. You will set the editorial vision for our sports coverage, host a daily streaming show, and build a following that travels with you wherever the story is. Current driver's license and ability to operate a news-gathering vehicle to and from various locations is required.
