During the time period of August 1, 2009 and ending on July 31, 2010, Stations WLDS-AM and WEAI-FM undertook the following Outreach Prong 3 menu option pursuant to the FCC’s EEO rules:
1--Continued an internship program that was established during 2003, which is designed to assist members of the community to acquire skills needed for broadcast employment. During the time period of August 1, 2009 to July 31, 2010, WLDS-WEAI employed interns to work part time at WLDS-WEAI. One person trained in nearly all areas of the radio station operation, from management, to news, farm, sports and traffic. The other was strictly used as an intern announcer on WEAI.
2--Co-sponsored a Career and Employment Expo with the local office of the Illinois Department of Employment Security, an agency with substantial participation of women and minorities. The event was held April 14th, 2010 at Illinois College in Jacksonville, Illinois. Upwards of over 90 employer groups (including WLDS-WEAI) set up exhibits, staffed their positions, distributed informational pieces and answered many questions from hundreds of job seekers and students who attended the event. WLDS-WEAI broadcast from the event. Program director Perry Brown, news director Eric Brooks, and sales reps Ryan McGuire, and Mary Hankins encouraged a number of the attendees to submit job applications with WLDS-WEAI. Credit was given to WLDS-WEAI for the outstanding response (see attached letter).
