General Manager Kgou-Fm GENERAL MANAGER KGOU-FM The University of Oklahoma seeks a General Manager for its successful public radio service. This document describes the opportunity, requirements and desired skills and attributes sought in our next General Manager as well as how to submit an application for the position. KGOU Radio serves the extended Oklahoma City metropolitan area and the northwest quadrant of Oklahoma, covering more than one million Oklahomans – about one-third of the Oklahoma population – with four transmitters and four translators. KGOU Radio has a strong tradition of local, state and regional coverage that focuses on news and public affairs programming, and is the lead station of a consortium of public radio stations for the joint project, StateImpact Oklahoma. Last year, KGOU and StateImpact Oklahoma received over 50 awards for locally produced content. KGOU also has a robust digital presence at kgou.org, as well as on Facebook and Twitter. KGOU has 12 full time staff members, and is home to the two StateImpact Oklahoma reporters. KGOU also hires several part time OU student staff each semester and offers practicum and a radio news course through the OU College of Journalism. KGOU is located in Norman, part of the Oklahoma City metro area that was ranked #9 by Forbes as one of America’s most affordable cities, and #10 for where working-age Americans are moving. The metro is served by several universities, is a hub for professional and collegiate sports, including and NBA team, has a thriving arts community, and has leading research facilities in health, biosciences, and weather. Several staff members make the short commute against the rush hour flow of traffic to Norman from Oklahoma City. The metro has benefitted from an urban renaissance 20 years in the making, with walking, running and cycling trails along the Oklahoma River, world class museums and 17 acres of green space downtown. The state has four distinct seasons, and 35 state parks filled with lakes, mountains, forests and sand dunes. KGOU is operated by the College of Continuing Education (OU Outreach) at the University of Oklahoma. OU Outreach is a world-renowned continuing education and liberal studies program designed for working adults, military personnel and others who want to advance their education with credit courses, non-credit activities, youth programs, and more. OU Outreach extends the educational resources of the University of Oklahoma on campus, online, and at locations around the world. The University of Oklahoma is a public research university in Norman, Oklahoma — with a student population just over 30,000. With three campuses in Oklahoma – main campus in Norman, the Health Sciences Center in Oklahoma City and a campus in Tulsa -- OU also offers study abroad opportunities at several locations overseas. From aerospace studies to visual communication, the University of Oklahoma has more than 150 majors to choose from, including the Gaylord College of Journalism and Mass Communication. KGOU also hires several part time OU student staff each semester and offers practicum and a radio news course through the Gaylord College of Journalism and Mass Communication. The University of Oklahoma offers excellent benefits and a range of insurance options. The University contributes to core benefits of medical, dental, life and accidental death and dismemberment. There are other insurance options at very reasonable costs for spouse and families, plus enhanced options in dental and vision, flexible spending accounts, life insurance, and short and long-term disability insurance. Insurance becomes effective on the first day of the month following the date of hire. Other benefits include retirement plans and optional savings plans, paid leave and paid holidays, and tuition assistance. Together the OU administration and KGOU staff have created the profile of the ideal next leader of KGOU. We will interview and select from candidates that most closely demonstrate the following: Industry Knowledge (radio, internet, etc.): Knowledge of media and trends in technology and consumption of media, including: A high level of understanding of the dynamics, issues and trends in public radio (including the need to continue to develop KGOU into an essential local institution); Have experience dealing with programming and content sharing providers (NPR, PRI, etc.); An understanding of/experience with managing a journalistic organization, including issues such as operating within an institutional setting (it will be extremely helpful if the GM is able to and qualified to teach at the University level and has a Masters Degree); Able to manage a complex physical plant, including managing the strategic and financial challenge of maintaining KGOU’s studio, transmitter and digital technological effectiveness; Is dedicated to the heritage of public radio, but is also willing to look ahead.

    Media Guide for Federal Agencies Discussing the traditional forms of Media Interaction AND addressing the topic of Social Media! Oklahoma Federal Executive Board 215 Dean A. McGee, Suite 320 Oklahoma City, OK 73102 (405) 231-4167 www.oklahoma.feb.gov Distributed July 2011 INTRODUCTION Federal agencies have a responsibility to provide accurate and timely information to the general public and the media. In many cases, however, agencies do not have a person designated and trained as a Public Affairs Officer (PAO). In such instances, the CEO or a front-line employee must act as the agency's representative to the public. Many times, the intended message may be lost during the interview; often lack of planning or an inability to relay the message in succinct, easy to understand terms is the cause. Dealing with the media can be a daunting, nerve-wracking experience, whether it is in a face-to-face interview, phone interview or on camera. It is important to be at your best when communicating your message. This guide has been developed to assist those individuals called upon to speak on behalf of their agency to the press, both managerial and non-managerial employees. Whether you are responding to inquiries, arranging or participating in an interview, or simply providing information for print or broadcast, it is hoped that this media guide will provide you with useful information and some important tips to assist you. The purpose of this Media Guide is informational in nature for public employees. As in the past, the guidance is based on the principle that the business of Government is vital to serving the public everywhere.

    KGOU-FM, Norman, Oklahoma The University of Oklahoma September 30, 2020 Diversity Statement for KGOU Radio KGOU is licensed to the University of Oklahoma and is a department of the University of Oklahoma Outreach. The institution places a high value on full diversity in all aspects of its operation. This is a review of the period October 1, 2019 through September 30, 2020, and a preview through September 30, 2021. KGOU’s governing board is The University of Oklahoma Board of Regents. As such, the members are appointed by the governor and confirmed by the state senate. KGOU has no control over the makeup of the governing board or the administrative chain that supervises KGOU. Thus, KGOU’s goal of a diverse workforce applies to station staff. For information purposes, however, the board is comprised of four white males, one African-American male and two white females, each over the age of 40. KGOU’s licensee official is the senior associate vice president for Outreach, who is an African-American female over the age of 40. KGOU’s goal is to comply with all applicable federal and state laws and regulations and does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, sexual orientation, genetic information, sex, age, religion, disability, political beliefs, or status as a veteran in any of its policies, practices, or procedures. KGOU’s diversity goal also includes but is not limited to marital status, diverse opinions, perspectives, and lifestyles. The University of Oklahoma has a culturally diverse student body, representing all 50 states, more than 50 tribal affiliations and over 100 foreign countries.

Since the beginning of 2010, the national weekly radio audience has grown from 239.7 million to 243 million listeners tuning in across more than 250 local markets in every corner of the country. 243 MILLION AMERICANS LISTEN TO RADIO EACH WEEK In a time of changing habits and new digital platforms, radio’s consistent audience numbers are quite remarkable. With the holidays just around the corner, consumers will be turning to the radio to catch their favorite sounds of the season or stay in touch with what’s happening in their local community each day. PUBLIC RADIO OFFERS AN UNCOMMON MIX OF PROGRAMMING FOR 32 MILLION LISTENERS This year we have profiled the overall radio landscape, multicultural audiences and network radio listeners, and for our final report we turn our attention to Public Radio; the more than 900 rated stations which offer an eclectic mix of news, entertainment, music and cultural programming in markets large and small.
