Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) Report
As an employer of five or more full-time employees, WPM (PBS Wisconsin/WHA-TV and Wisconsin Public Radio/WHA-AM) are required by the FCC to maintain an EEO recruitment program. The FCC rules include a requirement to provide notice of job vacancies and undertake additional outreach measures to all qualified job candidates, such as holding job fairs and establishing scholarship programs, and to file an annual EEO report.
The FCC requires broadcast stations “make information to which the public already has a right more readily available, so that the public will be encouraged to play a more active part in dialogue with broadcast licensees.” Stations do so via a public inspection file that contains a variety of information about each station’s operations and service to its community of license, including quarterly lists of the most significant programs each station aired concerning issues of importance to its community, data on ownership of each station and active applications each station has filed with the Commission. Here are the public inspection files for each broadcast station licensed to the UW Board of Regents that is under the administrative auspices of Wisconsin Public Media.
KUWS-FM – Superior
WHA-AM – Madison
WHA-TV – Madison
WHID-FM – Green Bay
WLSU-FM – LaCrosse
WRFW-FM – River Falls
WUEC-FM – Eau Claire
WUWS-FM – Ashland
WVSS-FM – Menomonie

As a qualifying recipient of Community Service Grant support from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB), the Division of Wisconsin Public Media (WPM) prepares its own standalone audited financial statements in accordance with 47 CFR 396. The Rescissions Act of 2025 (P.L. 119-28) eliminated all funding for the CPB. Going forward, WPM will no longer prepare standalone financial statements that undergo an audit; however, WPM’s accounts and records will continue to be audited as part of the annual financial statements for the Universities of Wisconsin.
Historic fiscal years for which standalone financial statements were prepared are available upon request at WPM’s central office 821 University Avenue Madison, WI, or by calling 1-800-747-7444
