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).
