KULR Outreach Activities
12/01/10 - 11/30/11

KULR Television, Billings Montana supplemental (non-vacancy specific) recruitment activities undertaken.

Scholarship Program Participation:

KULR-8 is involved in the MSU-B Billings Broadcasters Scholarship. The Billings Broadcasters issue a $500 check to MSU-B and they match it. The Montana Broadcasters will match both our local check and MSU-B’s so the winner will receive a total of $2,000.
We also actively participate in the Montana Broadcasters Scholarship program each year.

Education:

KULR-8 is participating in Northwestern’s Teaching Television 12 week program. The Northwestern Teaching Media Program provides full-time, 12-week internships to juniors or seniors at Northwestern's Medill School of Journalism in Illinois. Each journalism student is required to complete this program to earn his or her degree. The program matches students with participating TV stations and teams them with a mentor who works with them one-on-one throughout the internship. The program is geared to being a very hands-on learning experience. At KULR-8 the internship is very much centered on the reporting aspect of broadcast news. Students begin shadowing staff reporters to learn the systems, and by the end of the internship are often writing, reporting and presenting their own stories on air. The student's advisor from Medill makes a mid-term visit, and the mentor completes a mid-term and final evaluation. KULR-8 has been participating in this program for over 9 years.

Community Involvement:

Each year in December KULR-TV participates in the “Spirit of Giving” promotion to help gather donations for local charities.

KULR participates each year in the Gold Star Award. Each month, from September thru June, we award one teacher in the community the Gold Star Award. Past and current students nominate their inspirational teachers by submitting a nomination form telling why that teacher should be KULR-8's Gold Star Winner. Each teacher receives a check for $250 to be spent in the classroom.

KULR-8 sponsored and participated in the Ronald McDonald House Golf Tournament.

During the month of June KULR-TV held fund raising BBQs with all donations to go to Relay For Life.
