About Gray Media:
Gray Media is a leading media company that owns and operates high-quality stations in 113 television markets

About WSAZ:
WSAZ covers a wide, diverse area comprised of three states. Many small towns sit along the Ohio River and smaller
rivers and streams run through rolling hills. Our viewers and customers are extremely friendly and down-to-earth.
Although we’re not a major metropolitan region, the WSAZ market enjoys relatively close proximity to many large
eastern cities and is easily accessible by interstate, rail, river, and air.
We enjoy all four seasons and the activities that come with each. Nature is always a short distance away, with many
surrounding state parks and lakes for recreation. Within the larger towns and cities, there is a vibrant nightlife with
many outstanding restaurants and local festivals throughout the year.
Since 1949, WSAZ has been the overwhelming number-one choice for Breaking News, Severe Weather coverage, and
information in western West Virginia, eastern Kentucky, and southern Ohio. Generations of residents have grown up
counting on WSAZ to be a window to their world on-air and now digitally. Our people, on-air and behind the scenes, are
trusted friends and neighbors in the community. There is a culture within our walls that recognizes the responsibility
we carry, to continue what was started more than sixty years ago. We take pride
in our ratings, our content, our status, and the need to maintain the work ethic that got us to where we are.
There has always been a family atmosphere at WSAZ. We care about each other and know that we are stronger as one
team than as many individuals. We take our jobs seriously and know that we can be successful and have fun at the
same time.
