They own most of the stations in the country so it’s easier to work your way up to a city you actually want to live in.

Thank you for leaving a review. 2020 was an extremely challenging year. It is unfortunate that you have had such a negative experience with management in your time with us. We certainly do not condone toxic behavior and would like to discuss the specifics of your experiences in order to adjust the company culture for our entire staff. Please reach out to employment@sbgtv.com and set a time to go over your concerns. Thank you for everything you do and have done this past year!
