The station does well in the market. It is owned by Hearst-Argyle Television and they usually give their stations the resources they need to thrive. That said, WOWT-TV is a horserace with KETV to be the top-rated station in Omaha. KETV has two guys in their sports crew, WOWT has four. They are both good shops. Not sure on the pay but it is a great job, great news director, and great town, and a great place to live. |

There are actually three people in the sports office. One is a full-time sports photographer. The weekend guy will be expected to shoot also. There is alot to cover in Omaha. There are the Huskers, Creighton, UNO plays D-2 football but D-1 hockey. The Calgary Flames are bringing in a minor league team. KETV as an ABC affiliate covers alot of Husker football games (assuming they start winning again) and the sports guys do pregame and postgame shows. The station is a great place to work and it's in a battle with WOWT. As for pay, I would guess in the 30's with OT. It might depend on experience. I'm not aware of any front runners. The former #3 guy is now the KETV's Consumer Reporter and I don't think he would go back to sports. Get those tapes in soon. Sean leaves after the College World Series and Schuetz is going to need help in August with the start of football season.
