It is done because it looks favorable on paper to the community and the
government.

Several years ago a local radio station was mentioned on the news because it
fell within the lower percentile of radio stations in it's progamming format
with regards to hiring minorities and overall diversity of employees.

In defense of theirselves, the radio station manager pointet out they had
been under a hiring freeze for that year, so any new employee would be a
direct replacement of another, and no one left the company that year.  They
also pulled the job application forms for the last five years, and no one
considered as a minority had applied.  It was at the time a stand alone statio
n with one tower and a small building next to it.  My guess is 10-15
employees.  Album oriented rock, and other than DJ's babysitting an automated
system, they had two guys in the morning telling jokes and reading traffic
reports and sometimes an afternoon guy that will air calls.  The morning guys
and afternoon guys were replaced by syndicated radio shows.  All the rest
were engineers, admin, or sales folk.  They had historically hired  all their
talen from the local college, so that also narrowed down their choices as to
who applied to their communications programs. 

They got off the list bottom eventually.  They were bought up by a larger
broadcast company  that kept the transmitter but closed down the office. 
They moved everyone into a larger building with all their other affiliates
and laid off whoever they no longer needed.  The station format is talk
radio, and nearly every show is syndicated.
