This is an incredibly exciting and unique opportunity to lead an operation undergoing a significant technical upgrade including an imminent HD news launch, the first and only HD news product in this competitive central Illinois market. Located in central Illinois, Peoria and Bloomington are dynamic Midwest communities known for their values, popular lifestyle, ease of travel to major metropolitan areas (Chicago and St. Louis) and desirable communities in which to work and live. The market is home for Caterpillar’s International headquarters and State Farm Insurance, along with Bradley and Illinois State Universities.
The successful candidate will have demonstrated results in leading sales driven organizations and developing revenue across multiple platforms, as well as promoting teamwork within all station departments. In addition, a track record of success in maintaining a focus on the bottom line, and a broad range of programming experience with an emphasis on localism is essential.
This is an exciting opportunity to join the fastest growing broadcasting group in the country and oversee television and digital operations that have a dominant, leadership position in the market. We are looking for someone who can continue to capitalize on the stations’ assets, while creating new revenue opportunities through strategic planning and differentiation. We want a stakeholder, someone who is engaging, promotes good citizenship and someone who is pursuing an opportunity to advance their career in a Nexstar market that was one of the Company’s earliest acquisitions.
