Salem Media Group’s fast growing Salem News Channel is seeking a Video Producer/Booker in either our Dallas or Washington DC locations. SNC features America’s leading conservative commentators. 

The Salem News Channel Video Producer is a wearer of many hats in the production of our Salem News Channel shows and content. The following duties will be assigned based on specific production needs.
