Pursuant Federal Communications Commission guidelines, section 73,2080 © (6) regarding EEO practices, this document is being provided in an effort to better define and lay out the recruitment and hiring practices of Royal Broadcasting, Inc., a Virginia Corporation, and its holdings.
Royal Broadcasting, Inc. has and will continue to adhere to all Virginia Employment Commission guidelines regarding hiring practices, notifications and actions. Virginia is a ‘right to work’ state and as such, Royal Broadcasting, Inc. will operate under those guidelines for all hiring, termination and unemployment compensation issues.
1. Royal Broadcasting, Inc. is an equal opportunity employer and, as such, will not discriminate against any candidate on the basis of race, sex, religion, national origin, sexual preference or other diversity category. All candidates will be judged solely on their qualifications for a specific position with the Company.

In addition, radio campaigns on WFTR-AM & WZRV-FM are utilized, along with local cable access channel 23 and local newspaper listings. Royal Broadcasting is also a sponsor of several job fairs hosted throughout the year in the immediate listening area, in conjunction with the Chamber of Commerce.
