Welcome to EEO1Source

Stations and station groups continue to sign up for EEO1Source. The first to sign on was WOR Radio, our great affiliate member in New York City. Since then we have the pleasure of welcoming Nassau Broadcasting, Clear Channel Communications, NJN and pending, Radio Disney.  EEO1Source also welcomes the State of Illinois.

EEO1Source is the only program available to station association members at no charge. It takes a station all the way from posting a job, until all of the required FCC forms are printed, and then posted on the Internet. The program keeps track of stations EEO paperwork on a secure web site, which can only be accessed by the station and is password protected. EEO1Source does it all, totally eliminating the station paperwork burdens and assisting a station with its EEO compliance. You must be a member of your state association and must apply through your state association to join EEO1Source.
