Lee Davis attended a workshop at the Wisconsin Broadcasters Association on January 26th, 2011, entitled “Avoiding Discrimination in Employment Terminations”. He then attended a second seminar on June 22nd, 2011, entitled “Compliance with the FCC’s EEO Nondiscrimination and Outreach Regulations – Part 4”. Both of these seminars were in conjunction with the Wisconsin Broadcasters 2011 Conventions and the Job Fairs.
Scholarship ads were also run from January 17th through February 20th, announcing the opportunity for students in our listening area to compete for a national $7,000.00 scholarship, sponsored by SESAC and the International Broadcasters Idea Bank, and Cub Radio, Inc.

Our President and General Manager, Lee Davis, served as a screening judge of all applicants for both years.

Cub Radio provided an internship experience for Craig Majewski at Silver Lake College. Craig Majewski began his internship at Cub Radio on Monday, February 21st, 2011. He was working on a bachelor’s degree in theology at Silver Lake.
He finished up his internship in late April, 2011. The goal of Craig, his advisor, Silver Lake, and the radio stations was to give him a rounded education in radio. He wanted that to help his theology degree become more effective for him. He had had some experience in working in studios, and thought it would be important to him for his future.
Craig was available to the radio station at whatever time we could use him in the morning, but had to conclude by 12 Noon for his schedule. When he worked in general radio station duties, we scheduled him in about 9am until Noon. He worked on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays, essentially. When we used him in news, which we did for several weeks, he arrived earlier in the morning, as early as 5:30am or 6am, and stayed with us until approximately Noon.
We worked him in virtually every department of the radio station. He worked in the business area, answering phones, transferring calls, helping people who call the station to solve problems. He worked in the traffic area with Jenny to learn how we schedule ads. He worked in management with me to spend time with me to find out how the manager functions, what the job is, and how to coordinate activities of the staff. He worked in the news area with Bryan Lundberg, our News Director and he spent quite a bit of time with our Program Director Dean Lester, and with the production staff. He did production work, he did on-air news work, he did on-air voice tracking, and got a great deal of experience in all of those areas.
His work was very well done. The staff welcomed him and was glad to have him with us, and he provided quite a bit of extra help to us at our station.
After the internship concluded, I met with Jan Algozine from Silver Lake and Craig. We evaluated that internship, and he asked for another internship in late 2011. In the business area, as he has decided to seek a double-major, theology and business.
He started his new internship here at Cub Radio the week of September 12th, 2011. During this early part of his internship, he is playing soccer for Silver Lake, and his hours are somewhat limited. He does plan on working Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 10am until he either has go due to education commitments at school or extra-curricular activities, or we reach four hours. Our goal is to keep him working no more than 4 hours a day, 3 days a week, which would give him about 12 hours a week.
