Omid Khalili: Television Producer at Manoto TV

What Is a TV Producer?

A TV producer is partly the creator of taped and live TV shows and partly the top executive who performs, delegates or supervises all off-camera administrative and organizational functions. Your duties as a producer include writing and submitting bids for TV projects; devising budgets and schedules; hiring writers; providing input on casting decisions; leading production meetings and script conferences; coordinating the work of writers, directors and subordinates; and supervising editing and other post production activities. In a news broadcast operation you might contribute to the writing and editing of news stories.
