Participation in Job Fairs – ABC Radio Chicago participates in various job fairs throughout the year by staffing a table at the event with company personnel responsible for hiring decisions, distributing information about careers in radio, encouraging attendees to go to school and participate in internships, answering questions about the different departments at the radio stations, collecting résumés, soliciting applications, and informing attendees of current job postings at the stations.

Over the years, many of the ABC Radio Chicago interns have gone on to secure full-time positions within the company and/or other radio stations in major markets. For example, one former ABC Radio Chicago intern is an on- air host of WMVP’s afternoon show. Other former ABC Radio Chicago interns have gone on to full-time positions as account executive, producer, webmaster, promotions coordinator and production assistant at WMVP and/or WRDZ.

Educational Outreach (Career Days/School Visits) – During the reporting period, ABC Radio Chicago sent personnel on behalf of both stations to various schools within the Chicagoland area to talk to the students about pursuing career opportunities in broadcast radio generally, and at ABC Radio in particular. In each case, the representative discussed the different departments within the radio station and what kind of education and experience is necessary to break into the business. At times, WMVP employees also arranged for groups of students to visit the stations so they

EEO Public File Report – 8/1/10 Page 10

could see first-hand how a radio station runs. Afterwards, the students met with various personnel who talked about their particular departments as well as the many different career paths available in Radio.

The eleven educational career events/programs for this purpose in which ABC Radio Chicago employees participated this year are listed below.

V. OUTREACH TO COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS AND SELF- ASSESSMENT

In compliance with the FCC’s EEO rules and as part of a continuing long-term effort to expand and enhance its recruitment sources, ABC Radio Chicago has made the following efforts to inform qualifying groups how they can be placed on the stations’ mailing lists to learn of future vacancies:

EEO Public File Report – 8/1/10 Page 11

A. Internet – ABC Radio Chicago created a form letter that organizations can print out, complete, and mail/fax back to ABC Radio Chicago to be placed on the stations’ job vacancy mailing lists. This form letter has been placed on WMVP’s station website. (WRDZ is geared strictly toward children and therefore does not have this form posted on its own website.) No organizations contacted the station during the reporting period regarding this form on WMVP’s website. B. On-Air Announcements – ABC Radio Chicago aired announcements on each of its stations stating that the station is an equal opportunity employer and that any organization wishing to be placed on the mailing list to learn of future job vacancies can contact the station. These announcements ran twice a week from July through December 2009 on WMVP, and an average of ten times a week throughout the reporting period on WRDZ. Again, no organizations contacted ABC Radio Chicago as a result of these on-air announcements. C. Individual Outreach – During this reporting period, WRDZ, on behalf of itself and WMVP, reached out individually to approximately 100 organizations, including minority and women organizations, via phone, e- mail, and fax, informing them that they can remain on or be added to the company’s mailing lists for job vacancies. This resulted in an expanded local organization mailing list for WRDZ, which will be utilized in the future by WMVP as well.

ABC Radio Chicago continually reviews its recruitment methods to ensure that it is receiving qualified applicants from a wide array of sources. ABC Radio Chicago will also continue to strive to update, refine, and expand its mailing lists through further efforts like these in the months and years ahead and to use the improved mailing lists for virtually all full-time job openings.
