K COUNTRY'S EEO Policy

I.  General Policy

Ocala Broadcasting Corporation, LLC has a policy to afford equal employment to all qualified individuals without the regard to race, color, religion, national origin or sex, in all personnel actions including recruitment, evaluation, selection, promotion, compensation, training and termination.

It will also be our policy to promote the realization of equal employment opportunity through a positive, continuing program of specific practices designed to insure the full realization of equal employment opportunity without the regard to race, color, religion, national origin or sex.

To make this policy effective, and to insure conformance with the Rules and Regulations of the Federal Communications Commission, we have adopted an Equal Employment Opportunity Program which includes the following elements:

II. Responsibility for Implementation

Jim Robertson, General Manager will be responsible for implementing Ocala Broadcasting Corporations EEO program. It will also be the responsibility of all persons making employment decisions with respect to the recruitment, evaluation, selection, promotion, compensation, training and termination of employees to insure that our policy and program is adhered to and that no person is discriminated against in employment because of race, color, religion, national origin or sex.

III. Policy Dissemination

To ensure that all members of the staff are cognizant of our equal employment opportunity policy and their individual responsibilities in carrying out this policy, the efforts will be made:

The station's employment application forms will contain a notice informing prospective employees that discrimination because of race, color, religion, national origin or sex is prohibited and that they may notify the appropriate local, State or, Federal agency if they believe they have been the victims of discrimination.

Appropriate notices will be posted informing applicants and employees that the stations are equal opportunity employers and of their right to notify an appropriate local, State or Federal agency if they believe they have been the victims of discrimination.

In any advertising for job openings the stations will include a notice informing prospective employees that discrimination because of race, color, religion, national origin or sex is prohibited, and that Ocala Broadcasting Corporation, LLC is an Equal Opportunity Employer.

Annual EEO Public File Report for Ocala Broadcasting Corporation

 

a.) During the period of October 1, 2005 through September 30, 2006 Ocala Broadcasting Corporation, LLC, (i.e. WOGK, WNDD, WNDT, WNDN and WLQH-AM) had one full time vacancy to be filled in any job title.

 

b.) Therefore, Ocala Broadcasting Corporation, LLC used the following sources to recruit candidates for the open WOGK News Director on air position.   An ad was placed on an internet recruitment source (www.allaccess.com), a posting was made at the Ocala Broadcasting offices and a fax posting was sent to the other stations in our group in Ohio and Maryland.

 

c.) The opening was caused by the immediate dismissal of the News Director for his arrest for illegal activities.  In order to receive the fastest turnaround of qualified and diverse candidates, the online recruitment and intercompany sources were deemed efficient for quickly filling the position.

 

d.) Twenty-two (22) people expressed interest in the position.  Four (4) qualified candidates were contacted and interviewed in person and/or on the phone.   All four of the candidates responded to the internet ad on AllAccess.com

 

e.) For a list and brief description of the required non vacancy specific recruitment measures selected from the FCC's menu that were undertaken, please refer to the narrative statement immediately following this page.
