5. Disseminating Information as to Employment Opportunities in Broadcasting:

KCAU created a television spot which airs approximately every day on different day parts, on both 9.1 and our digital channel 9.2.  The spot: 1) asks organizations that distribute information about employment opportunities to contact KCAU to get on our mailing list (all contact information including address, phone and email are provided) and 2) informs job seekers to check KCAU's website for postings of current openings.  The spot confirms KCAU is an Equal Opportunity Employer.  KCAU has also created a spot to air which directly recruits for specific job openings that we have at that time.  This spot runs in the same rotation as the spot mentioned above as well as on both 9.1 and 9.2.
