EEO PUBLIC FILE

REPORT FOR

WBHF(AM), Cartersville, Georgia

(“WBHF”)

This EEO Public File Report is being uploaded to WBHF’s online public inspection file

pursuant to Section 73.2080(c)(6) of the Federal Communications Commission’s (“FCC”)

rules. This is the first EEO report being submitted by the station, which recently hired its

fifth full-time employee and therefore is now subject to the EEO reporting requirements.

Job Vacancies

During the period of this report, WBHF did not have any full-time job openings, and

therefore did not conduct any interviews with potential job applicants. If in the future the

station has a full-time job vacancy, the station will broadly disseminate the job vacancy by

using a variety of national, regional, and local recruitment sources to announce the

vacancy.

EEO Initiatives

The station has five full-time employees and is licensed to Cartersville, Georgia, a

community of less than 250,000 people, and therefore the station is located entirely in a

“smaller market” as defined in the FCC’s rules. Accordingly, pursuant to Section

73.2080(c)(2) of the FCC’s rules, WBHF must engage in two of the following initiatives

every two years:

(i) Participation in at least four job fairs by station personnel who have substantial

responsibility in the making of hiring decisions;

(ii) Hosting of at least one job fair;

(iii) Co-sponsoring at least one job fair with organizations in the business and professional

community whose membership includes substantial participation of women and minorities;

(iv) Participation in at least four events sponsored by organizations representing groups

present in the community interested in broadcast employment issues, including

conventions, career days, workshops, and similar activities;

(v) Establishment of an internship program designed to assist members of the community

to acquire skills needed for broadcast employment;

(vi) Participation in job banks, Internet programs, and other programs designed to promote

outreach generally (i.e., that are not primarily directed to providing notification of specific

job vacancies);

(vii) Participation in scholarship programs designed to assist students interested in pursuing

a career in broadcasting;

(viii) Establishment of training programs designed to enable station personnel to acquire

skills that could qualify them for higher level positions;

(ix) Establishment of a mentoring program for station personnel;

(x) Participation in at least four events or programs sponsored by educational institutions

relating to career opportunities in broadcasting;

(xi) Sponsorship of at least two events in the community designed to inform and educate

members of the public as to employment opportunities in broadcasting;

(xii) Listing of each upper-level category opening in a job bank or newsletter of media

trade groups whose membership includes substantial participation of women and

minorities;

(xiii) Provision of assistance to unaffiliated non-profit entities in the maintenance of web

sites that provide counseling on the process of searching for broadcast employment and/or

other career development assistance pertinent to broadcasting;

(xiv) Provision of training to management level personnel as to methods of ensuring equal

employment opportunity and preventing discrimination;

(xv) Provision of training to personnel of unaffiliated non-profit organizations interested in

broadcast employment opportunities that would enable them to better refer job candidates

for broadcast positions;

(xvi) Participation in other activities designed by the station employment unit reasonably

calculated to further the goal of disseminating information as to employment opportunities

in broadcasting to job candidates who might otherwise be unaware of such opportunities.

During the reporting period, WBHF engaged in the following EEO initiative:

WBHF partnered with Kennesaw State University to provide paid internship opportunities

for students interested in broadcasting. Initiative (v).
