Great starter market. Smaller market, smaller staff so you are expected to wear many hats even at the entry level, but upper management and co-workers were always very supportive. Very hands on and engaged news director, but he does not micromanagement staff, a very good quality in an ND. Pay is average for a small market in the industry but Cville can be a tad expensive without roommates. Since I’ve left station was recently sold by Gray to another company, so I do not know the effects of that but overall I really enjoyed my time here.

Charlottesville is one of the best starter markets to work in. When you come here, you will get a great resume reel. Several alumni have ended up in top markets in just a few short years. Everyone here works as a team. News director is involved of every aspect of what you do, and wants to set you up for success. I highly recommend this station to anyone looking for a great first job.
