Federal 990 Reports
The IRS 990 is an informational tax form that most tax-exempt organizations must file annually. In a nutshell, the form gives the IRS an overview of the organization's activities, governance and detailed financial information. Form 990 also includes a section for the organization to outline its accomplishments in the previous year to justify maintaining its tax-exempt status. In collecting this information, the IRS wants to ensure that organizations continue to qualify for tax exemption after the status is granted.
The WTVP Community Broadcasting Advisory Council (CBAC) serves the Board of Trustees and WTVP staff in an advisory capacity, keeping WTVP attuned to community needs and bringing together a cross-section of people to advise the station on how those community needs can best be met. From young parents just getting started to people with the wisdom of years of experience, CBAC members' input is invaluable as we work to keep our viewing public entertained and informed.
In addition to reviewing WTVP programming and its goals and objectives, the Community Broadcasting Advisory Council serves as a sounding board and helps generate new ideas for local programming. The Council also solicits input and feedback to assure that the station is meeting educational and cultural needs and telling the stories of Peoria and the surrounding communities. Advisory Council members are station ambassadors and help promote WTVP projects and activities.
If you have questions or if you would like to be considered for membership on the council please contact Thomas Zimmerman at 309-495-0525 or email thomas.zimmerman@wtvp.org.
WTVP EEO Reports
The FCC has Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) rules and policies for radio and TV broadcasters and multichannel video programming distributors (MVPDs), such as cable TV and satellite TV operators. The rules prohibit discrimination in hiring on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin or gender by broadcasters and MVPDs. For MVPDs, the rules also prohibit discrimination in hiring on the basis of age. The EEO rules require broadcasters employing five or more full-time employees, and MVPDs employing six or more full-time employees, to maintain an EEO recruitment program. The recruitment rules include requirements to provide notice of job vacancies and to undertake additional outreach measures to all qualified job candidates, such as holding job fairs and establishing scholarship programs.
