FILING INSTRUCTIONS
Broadcast station licensees are required to afford equal
employment opportunity to all qualified persons and to refrain from
discriminating in employment and related benefits on the basis of race,
color, national origin, religion, and sex. See 47 C.F.R. Section 73.2080.
Pursuant to these requirements, a license renewal applicant whose station
employment unit employs five or more full-time station employees must file
a report of its activities to ensure equal employment opportunity. If a
station employment unit employs fewer than five full-time employees, no
equal employment opportunity program information need be filed. If a
station employment unit is filing a combined report, a copy of the report
must be filed with each station's renewal application.
A copy of this report must be kept in the
station's public file. These actions are required to obtain license
renewal. Failure to meet these requirements may result in sanctions or
license renewal being delayed or denied. These requirements are contained
in 47 C.F.R. Section 73.2080 and are authorized by the Communications Act
of 1934, as amended.

full-time employees, complete the certification below, return the form to
the FCC, and place a copy in your station(s) public file. You do not have

It is also the responsibility of all persons at a broadcast
station making employment decisions with respect to recruitment, evaluation,
selection, promotion, compensation, training and termination of employees to
ensure that no person is discriminated against in employment because of race,
color, religion, national origin or sex.
I. EEO PUBLIC
FILE REPORT
Attach as an exhibit one copy of each of the EEO public file reports from
the previous two years. Stations are required to place annually such
information as is required by 47 C.F.R. Section 73.2080 in their public
files.
EEO PUBLIC FILE REPORT ex2
1. WE ARE QUITE FORTUNATE IN THAT
OUR STAFF HAS BEEN STABLE FOR SEVERAL YEARS. WE HAVE HAD NO OPENSINGS IN
FOUR YEARS.
2. WHEN OPENINGS DO OCCUR WE HAVE A
LARGE FILE OF JOB APPLICANTS FROM WALK-IN APPLICANTS AND PREVIOUS
OPENINGS. WE USE THE TEXAS ASSOCIATION OF BROADASTER EMPLOYMENT SERVICE
TO ASK FOR APPLICANTS AND TO ADVERTISE OUR OPENINGS WITH THEM. MOST PART
TIME OPENINGS ARE DONE BY ADVERTISING ON THE AIR AND CHECKING WITH OTHER
LOCAL EMPLOYERS FOR THEIR APPLICANTS WHO MAY HAVE SKILLS WE CAN USE. ON
THE PART TIME JOBS WE DO A LOT OF TRIANING OF BEGINNERS BUT THERE TOO WE
HAVE BEEN FORTUNATE IN BEING ABLE TO FIND COLLEGE OR OTHER STATION
TRIANED APPLICANTS. THAT IS PROBABLY BECAUSE OF OUR PROXIMITY TO MAJOR
MARKETS (HOUSTON, BEAUMONT WITHIN 30 MINUTE DRIVE).
II. NARRATIVE
STATEMENT Provide a statement in an exhibit which demonstrates how the station
achieved broad and inclusive outreach during the two-year period prior to
filing this application. Stations that have experienced difficulties in
their outreach efforts should explain.
