Master Control Operator Jobs in New York

A Master Control Operator (MCO) plays a crucial role in the broadcasting industry by ensuring seamless transmission of television and radio programs. They monitor and control the quality of content being broadcast, ensuring the correct sequence of shows, commercials, and other content. MCOs also troubleshoot any transmission errors and coordinate with various departments to rectify them timely. They manage the logs for all broadcast transmissions and ensure compliance with Federal Communications Commission (FCC) rules and regulations.

Key skills for a Master Control Operator include attention to detail, strong technical expertise, ability to work under pressure, and excellent problem-solving skills. Familiarity with broadcast operations and equipment, and proficiency in relevant software are also essential. A certification from the Society of Broadcast Engineers can be beneficial, although not mandatory. Typically, a person may work as a Broadcast Technician, Production Assistant, or Video Editor before advancing to the role of a Master Control Operator.
