About 6abc and Our History

For more than 70 years WPVI-TV/6abc has been broadcasting programs to viewers in the Delaware Valley.

I. GENERAL POLICY

WPVI (the “Station”) has a longstanding commitment to a policy that no person shall be discriminated against in employment by the Station because of race, color, religion,national origin, or sex. This commitment to fair employment practices applies to every aspect of the employment process to ensure that equal consideration is extended to all employees and applicants in recruitment, selection procedures, employee development, performance evaluation, promotions, transfers, benefits and other aspects of employment. It is the Station’s policy to carry out a positive continuing program of specific practices designed to ensure equal opportunity and nondiscrimination in every aspect of station employment policy and practice.

II. INTERNAL RECORD KEEPING

A file is created for each job opening at WPVI-TV. Each file contains an application from every interviewee for that position. It also includes the job posting and advertisements placed for each open position and a completed internal applicant recruitment form that details basic information about the job (such as title and date position was open and filled). This form also lists every person interviewed for the position, their referral source (where known), their interview dates, and the dispositions of their interviews (whether or not they were offered and accepted the position, and if so, their hire dates). The data contained in these internal files is used to help prepare the Station’s ANNUAL EEO PUBLIC FILE REPORT and enable the Station to evaluate the effectiveness of its recruitment and outreach efforts. A file of unsolicited resumes is kept with each department for a period of one year.

III. RECRUITMENT SOURCES USED TO FILL VACANCIES

All openings for full time non-temporary positions are announced in the following ways:

First, WPVI-TV has an extensive list (see Section III -A, below) of organizations and individuals that have requested notification of Station job openings. The list is updated when new requests are received. Announcements of all full time non-temporary job vacancies are routinely sent to this entire list, which includes the website of the Pennsylvania Association of Broadcasters.

Second, an Equal Employment Opportunity over-the-air broadcast announcement, soliciting groups interested in being added to the jobs mailing list, aired monthly on WPVI-TV/ D-1 and D-2 channels. A similar announcement is posted within the job listings section of the Station’s website, www.6abc.com.

Third, all position openings are forwarded to ABC, Inc.’s Human Resources Department to be posted on both the internal (intranet) and the external (internet) Disney Jobs site (DisneyCareers.com). Open positions posted on Disneycareers.com are subsequently posted by the DirectEmployers Association Network to numerous sites that list open jobs.

Fourth, as part of its continuous effort to make people aware of the Station’s job openings and internship opportunities, WPVI-TV utilizes the Station’s website, www.6abc.com. A listing of open positions and the internships available within WPVITV, with an explanation of the application requirements and procedures, is regularly updated on the website.

Fifth, the Station’s vacancies are also included in a Station employment hotline to which interested callers to the Station are directed (215-871-1225). Individuals who call the Station’s main number (215-878-9700) to inquire about job openings are connected to the hotline (extension 6). They hear a recorded message listing each job opening and providing instructions for how to apply for the position.

And finally, other Station recruitment sources include talent and employment agents, referrals from current or former employees, and industry colleagues. Interested internal candidates from WPVI or from its sister stations are also considered.
