CBS affiliate broadcaster and digital media publisher in South Central Wisconsin
WISC-TV is a regional CBS affiliate and news publisher operating out of Madison since 1956. The tech stack is heavily weighted toward Adobe creative tools (Premiere, Photoshop, After Effects) and ad platforms (WideOrbit, Meta Ads, Google Ads), reflecting a broadcast-first organization pivoting toward multi-platform campaigns. Hiring leans sales-heavy (17 active roles), with secondary strength in news and marketing, while core engineering is sparse (2 roles)—typical of a legacy media operation scaling ad operations and digital audience reach rather than building proprietary tech.
Notable leadership hires: Digital Director of Sales, Newscast Director, Editor in Chief, Marketing Director
