Noncompete clauses, which restrict employees from working for competitors after leaving a job, are common in the broadcast news industry, affecting not only on-air talent but also off-air roles like producers and editors.

While some argue that noncompetes protect employers' investments in their employees, others say they limit job mobility and hurt employees' ability to negotiate better pay and working conditions. The debate continues between business trade associations and labor unions like SAG-AFTRA.
