EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY
ANNUAL PUBLIC FILE REPORT
KMUW-FM WICHITA PUBLIC RADIO
Wichita State University, licensee

February 1, 2004

In November 2002, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) adopted new rules and policies to a) establish Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) programs; b) provide vacancy notices to recruitment sources, and; c) undertake additional outreach measures as a part of filling job vacancies. These new rules became effective March 10, 2003.

To document its EEO efforts, KMUW is required to place an annual EEO report in the station's local public file and post the report to the station's website, on the station's broadcast license renewal filing anniversary date (February 1st).

Note: Item 5 below describes KMUW's efforts to fulfill the outreach component of the FCC's rules. Because KMUW has more than ten full-time employees, and is located in a metropolitan area with a population of greater that 250,000 persons, the station is required to complete at least four initiatives within a two-year period, from a list of 16 defined by the FCC. However, since the rules were implemented only ten months ago, not all of KMUW initiatives were completed by the time of this filing.
