ANNUAL EEO PUBLIC FILE REPORT
FOR
The purpose of this Annual EEO Public File Report for “Option A” Broadcast Stations (this “Report”) is to comply with Section 73.2080(c)(6) of the Commission’s EEO Rules.
This report has been prepared on behalf of the station employment unit (the “Station Employment Unit”) that is comprised of the following entity: WSBT, Inc., licensee of WSBT-TV, WNSN (FM), and WSBT (AM). All of these stations serve South Bend, IN as their communities of license and this report will be placed in the stations’ public inspection files and on their websites by the applicable Commission deadline.
The information contained in this Report covers the time period from March 27, 2009 to, and including, March 26, 2010 (the “Reporting Period”).
Under the Commission’s EEO Rules, the Station Employment Unit has elected Option A, “Supplemental Recruitment Measures” for the Reporting Station for the duration of the Reporting Period.
The Commission’s EEO Rules require that this Report contain the following additional information:
A list of all full-time vacancies filled by the Reporting Station during the Reporting Period; identified by job title;
For each such vacancy, the recruitment source(s) utilized to fill the vacancy (including, if applicable, organizations entitled to notification pursuant to Section 73.2080(c)(1)(ii) of the Commission’s EEO rules, which should be separately identified), identified by name, address, contact person and telephone number;
The recruitment source that referred the hiree for each full-time vacancy during the Reporting Period;
Data reflecting the total number of persons interviewed for full-time vacancies during the Reporting Period and the total number of interviewees referred by each recruitment source utilized in connection with such vacancies; and
A list and brief description of the initiatives undertaken pursuant to Section 73.2080(c)(2) of the Commission’s EEO Rules during the Reporting period.
Since some of the information required for this Report is duplicative, the Station Employment Unit has developed the attached set of Appendices, which, in the aggregate, contain all of the information believed to be required under the Commission’s EEO Rules.
For the purposes of this Report, a vacancy was deemed “filled” not simply when the offer was extended but when the hiree accepted the job offer. A person was deemed “interviewed” whether he or she was interviewed in person or over the telephone.
This Report was prepared on March 31, 2010.
