TV Channel Censorship Operator

Key Responsibilities

• Continuously monitor assigned live TV channel(s) in real time to identify content requiring censorship under rating and content guidelines.
• Execute censorship actions accurately and on time using the designated broadcast censorship platform — including audio muting/bleeping, video black, audio/video substitution, and pixelation/blurring with adjustable intensity and duration — without over-editing compliant content.
• Apply content rating thresholds correctly: leave lower-rated content (TV-PG/PG and below) untouched, and censor content above that threshold, plus a defined set of restricted content categories that must always be edited regardless of rating.
• Execute emergency censorship procedures when required, including cutting to a black screen or displaying a pre-built alert message.
• Flag and support adjustment of the Electronic Program Guide (EPG) whenever live editing introduces a broadcast delay.
• Maintain full attention and time-critical decision-making throughout each shift in a 24x7 live broadcast environment.
• Complete and submit accurate daily activity reports covering all channels monitored and any incidents encountered.
• Escalate technical issues or content queries to the on-duty Supervisor promptly.
• Support the team's target of zero unauthorised censorship actions.

• Demonstrated familiarity with the EVS channel censoring system, Air Edit, Etere CensorMX, or an equivalent broadcast censorship / live time-delay platform.
• Willingness and ability to work rotating 24x7 shifts, including nights, weekends, and public holidays.

• Direct hands-on experience specifically with Etere CensorMX or a comparable live-censorship/time-delay platform.
• Prior experience applying content guidelines in a culturally-sensitive broadcast market (Gulf/MENA region).
