The NYSE TV Booking Producer supports a live, news-like program, broadcast from the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) weekdays from 9 to 10 a.m. Eastern. The program, NYSE TV Live, covers timely matters, including news happening at the NYSE and its parent company: Intercontinental Exchange (ICE).
Through top-tier bookings, whom this hire will be responsible for, ICE/NYSE informs and entertains viewers on topical subjects in a way the layperson can digest. This role brings planning, organization, relationship building and strong news judgment to the program that’s streaming and on demand.
Responsibilities
- Develop and maintain a planning calendar of forthcoming business news, including market events (such as Federal Reserve decisions), large-cap company earnings, economic data releases and product announcements. This will guide program bookings.
- Book about six guest segments per show that are informed by the news and, ideally, make news. On-site interviews are the standard. On occasion, remote appearances will be acceptable.
- Pursue A-list guests, including CEOs, athletes, celebrities, world leaders and other newsmakers.
- Turn to and build on one’s rolodex of guests to deliver a fresh show each weekday that grows reach and visibility of NYSE TV Live.
- Collaborate with colleagues, like anchors, producers and broadcast operations, to guarantee a smooth and efficient workflow. Brief colleagues on guests and interview flow.
- Manage on-site logistics of guest appearances: greet and stay with them throughout their time.
- Manage remote bookings by working with broadcast operations and guests to secure a reliable shot and audio. This may entail wearing a headset during the program to aid in communication.
- Follow up with guests after their appearances to keep the line of communication open and assist when needed, such as providing a link to their interview highlight post show.
- With strong news judgment, work with colleagues and guests to ensure the content of each appearance is maximized, both in covering current news and prepping topics that make news.
- Understand how data informs and makes news. At times, book guests who can bring data to life.
- Network internally to incorporate in-house events, visitors and colleagues into the program when it’s timely and appropriate.
- Manage multiple projects simultaneously, meeting deadlines and production schedules.
Knowledge And Experience
- Bachelor’s degree in Journalism, Communications, Finance, or a related field.
- Six to 10 years of experience booking high-profile guests for deadline-oriented daily news shows.
