WAQY/WLZX/WRSI/WHMP/HITS 94.3 and sister stations WHAI/WPVQ Co-Sponsored the Western Mass
Veterans Expo held on October 9, 2014 at the Mass Mutual Center in Springfield. We provided media planning,
marketing, and advertising direction for this event. Each radio cluster also ran radio ads informing the public of
the expo which provided employment, VA, and health benefits assistance. Massachusetts Broadcasters
Association brochures detailing "Careers in Radio Broadcasting" and one sheets detailing available positions at
each radio cluster were handed out. Management and Support Staff were in attendance.
General Outreach
WAQY/WLZX/WRSI/WHMP/Hits 94.3 routinely contact various community organizations to notify them of job
opportunities at the radio stations through email, fax, and mail and through on-air broadcasts informing them to
contact [email protected], [email protected], and [email protected] to be included in future distributions.
E. Outreach Activities (Continued)
Other Activities

WAQY & WLZX Station Events held Thursdays & Fridays at local establishments. Copies are also available
at the front reception desk at station offices.
Provided link on station job openings webpages to Massachusetts Broadcasters Association for more information

Continually analyze recruitment program on an ongoing basis and regularly update internal database to achieve
broad outreach to potential applicants.
On December 10, 2013, a local Cub Scout Troop visited WAQY/WLZX to assist with Scouting Communication
requirements. They received a tour of our facility with question/answer sessions with various departments and
copies of the Massachusetts Broadcasters Association "Careers in Radio Broadcasting" were handed out.
The air staff at WRSI/WHMP/Hits 94.3 conducted tours of our stations for a number of community groups. Among
them were:
- Hampshire Educational Collaborative - Tour by Joan Holliday
- Northampton High School - Tour By Monte Belmonte
- Hartsbrook School Students - Tour By Monte Belmonte
- Center for New Americans Students - Tour By Monte Belmonte

We feel showing students and members of the community at large what we do here is important, and helps them
understand all the ways we are partners with them here in the Valley. They also see how exciting and vibrant the
world of radio is and what careers are available in this profession.
We plan to continue to invite the community into Northampton Radio in the coming year as part of our community
outreach efforts.
