EEO Public File Report

EEO Public File Report
(April 1, 2009 through March 31, 2010)

This EEO Public File Report is filed in WCTL-FM's public inspection file pursuant to Section 73.2080(c)(6) of the Federal Communications Commission's ("FCC") rules.

With the hiring of the Station's fifth full-time employee on August 29, 2005, the Station became subject to the FCC's EEO tracking and documentation requirements. As a religious radio broadcaster, the Station requires all employees to have religious belief or affiliation as a qualification for employment, and is therefore subject to Outreach Prong 3. There have been no additional full-time hires during the reporting period.

The following section describes Outreach Initiatives the Station engaged in during the annual reporting period:

Establishment of an internship program designed to assist members of the community to acquire skills needed for broadcast employment.

We have an active ongoing internship program and shadowing program which affords interested students the opportunity to work in programming, promotions, production, and other areas. The internships generally last several months.

In addition, we always accommodate job shadowing requests and invite interested students to visit and shadow our personnel and learn about the broadcasting industry.

Spring/Summer 2010, a student at Edinboro University of Pennsylvania worked as an intern in the promotions departments, assisting with special projects including the Women's Conference on March 27th and an upcoming Bowling Extravaganza/Fundraiser.

Establishment of training programs designed to enable station personnel to acquire skills that could qualify them for higher level positions.

We have an ongoing effort to teach and train our air, sales and administrative staff members:

Sales meetings are held regularly to educate and instruct account representatives to be more effective and profitable. The meeting days and times vary to accommodate the schedules of the Account Executives and their clients. Present are the General Manager and one or two Account Executives.

Staff meetings are held weekly to educate and instruct the on-air staff to be more effective and intentional about continually improving their presentations and production skills. Upcoming activities and promotional events are also addressed. The meetings are held every Tuesday at 1:30 p.m. Present are the General Manager, Operations Manager/Program Director, Production Director, IT Specialist, Account Executive, Account Executive, Promotions Director, Events Coordinator, and Accountant/Traffic Director. Board members and other part-time staff are occasionally present at the meetings as well.

The Program Director attended CMB Momentum 09 in Orlando, Florida on September 10 - 12, 2009. The event includes advanced-level training seminars for Christian music broadcasters.

Sponsorship of events in the community designed to inform and educate members of the public as to employment opportunities in broadcasting.
