Ok. This is not one of those I hate my job posts. I still love working in TV. I still get a rush for a good story and love breaking news. I have been a producer for 10 years now mainly in a top 15 market producing a 10pm or 11pm show.
In recent months I have grown tired of producing my show. I'm looking for a new challenge. I am bored, easlly annoyed, and just get down right pissed when 6:30 comes and the building empties out.
Is it time to get out of the biz, or maybe time to get off this shift, or I do have the bug to move into an EP roll. Any suggestions? Serious answers please. |

....because you do the same thing day after day..
think about it, there IS a great deal of repetition in producing the same show day after day with the same format, same break structure, same timing grid, etc..
I'd suggest you either take over another shift/show or try sprucing yours up... play with the format, maybe bring in some in-studio guests once in a while, maybe ask to be assigned to some field producing or do some one-hour specials here and there... just do what you can (if the bosses will let you) to break up the monotony and the grind.
