vacancy, the recruitment resource(s) utilized to fill the vacancy (including,
if applicable, organizations entitled to notification pursuant to Section

identified by name, address, contact person and telephone number;
3. The recruitment source that
referred the hiree for each full-time vacancy during the Applicable Period;
4. Data reflecting the total

2. EEO Training:
Equal Employment Opportunity meetings are held on a continual
basis as needed for current education to department heads as to their role and
responsibilities in the EEO process. We ensure that all department heads are
fully educated on their reporting documentation responsibility. We educate
department heads as to anti-discrimination rules and ensure that all
departments are hiring in a non-discriminatory fashion. The February 1, 2011 to
January 31, 2012 Annual EEO Public File Report was distributed to the station
managers during a February 2012 manager's meeting and was discussed by the
Business Manager, Steve Anderson.
Steve Anderson, Business Manager,
participated in a webinar sponsored by the National Association of Broadcasters
Education Foundation on April 4, 2012 titled “FCC EEO Updates: How to Prepare
and Stay Compliant” and presented by Lew Pulley – Federal Communications
Commission Assistant Chief Policy Division, Larry Wilke – National Association
of Broadcasters Associate General Counsel, and Melodie Virtue – Owner Garvey,
Schubert & Barer Law Firm.
Steve Anderson, Business Manager,
attended a training seminar sponsored by the Nebraska Broadcasters Association
on August 15, 2012 focusing on the EEO process/rules and their implementation
by an employer. This seminar was
presented by Lisa Fields of Broadcast One Source.
Each

the Equal Employment Opportunity Program of KLKN-TV. This Program outlines the
continuing policy of KLKN-TV to provide equal opportunity to all individuals
without regard to their race, color, religion, age, national origin, or sex in
