***This past year, (May 26, 2010 - May 25, 2011), WCBM/WVIE had no full-time hires. We did have four part-time hires. Three people were hired as part-time in the Tech/Engineering department, and one was hired as a part-time Sports Talk Host. We promoted one employee from part-time to full-time in our Tech/Engineering department during the year.

The station attended job fairs through which a number of people were educated about possible employment opportunities within the broadcasting industry, and during which the stations accepted a number of applications from individuals interested in seeking employment at the stations when the appropriate opportunity for full time openings occur. From these applicants, the stations did not hire any FT or PT employees.
