As a licensee of the Federal Communications Commission, Redwood Empire Stereocasters affords equal employment opportunity without regard to race, color, religion, national origin, or sex.
This Annual EEO Report is filed on behalf of KZST (FM) and KJZY (FM) (the “Stations”) in compliance with the FCC’s EEO reporting requirements. KZST and KJZY, owned by Redwood Empire Stereocasters, share at least one employee. Thus, FCC rules deem the Stations a “single employment unit” and requires the filing of a joint report. This report includes information from August 1, 2006, through July 31, 2007, and will be placed in the Stations’ public files and on the Stations’ respective websites.
KZST and KJZY are equal opportunity employers that are committed to meeting the Stations’ EEO obligations. All full-time job vacancies are posted with several sources, including national and local minority organizations, schools, newspapers, and help-wanted and industry websites. The Stations’ list of recruitment sources has been updated to include email addresses and will be used to notify potential applicants for full-time positions. The Stations will continue to actively seek out new sources. The Stations encourage organizations that distribute employment information or refer prospective candidates to contact us so that they may be placed on our mailing list to receive notification of future vacancies. The Stations will broadcast announcements four times a year in rotating dayparts inviting interested organizations to be added to our mailing list. Notices on the Stations’ websites extend a similar invitation. Print ads in local publications containing this notice will be placed annually.
The Stations participate in long-term recruitment measures both individually and together. Job/Career Fair are attended by Stations General Manager, Sales Manager and Business Manager and if another specific opening exists, the appropriate department head attends.
The Stations participate in Career Days at local schools.
The Stations participate in a scholarship program for local students to facilitate their study of broadcasting.
