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), KJZY (FM) and KGRP (FM) (the
“Stations”) in compliance with the FCC’s EEO reporting requirements. KZST, KJZY and KGRP, 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, 2008, through July 31,
2009, and will be placed in the Stations’ public files and on the Stations’
respective websites.
KZST,
KJZY and KGRP 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 Fairs are attended by Stations General Manager, Sales
Manager (Regional or Local) and/or 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.
