Section 3: Supplemental (Non-Vacancy Specific) Recruitment Activities undertaken by KEYL AM and KXDL FM
KEYL AM and KXDL FM participates in activities that supplement Non-Vacancy specific recruitment activities including:
- KEYL AM and KXDL FM uses media to enhance recruitment via our stations’ website and radio spots that air on KEYL AM and KXDL FM. A copy of affidavits of the aforementioned radio spots are on file with this document in the stations’ public file. This is an on-going program the last 12 months.
- 2.KEYL AM and KXDL FM continues to offer informational and instructional tours to area civic groups, scouts, public school students, families and other guests. The tours are open to discussions about broadcasting by the participants and gives participants an opportunity to learn about the internal workings of a broadcast facility and the people who run it. However, during the Covid-19 pandemic, most of the supplemental recruitment activities in which KEYL and KXDL would typically participate (Station tours, internships, job fairs and the like) generally involve or require close human contact. These activities have been cancelled or postponed due to stay at home orders, mandatory social distancing and related pandemic safety precautions. It is unknown how long these precautions will extend.
