Report on Radio Station KFUO

The Lord of the church has wonderfully blessed the work of
Radio Station KFUO during the past triennium.

During this period, certain administrative and organizational
changes in the station’s operation have been made. We are pleased
to submit the following report:

Administrative and Organizational

A constructive spirit of co-operation and unity prevails among
the KFUO staff. Regular staff meetings of the department heads
are held monthly to discuss projects, problems, and all phases of
our work, each department head being encouraged to speak freely
and openly. Many additional meetings are held on specific subjects.
Most decisions, except those of a purely administrative nature,
are arrived at through joint discussion and planning.

The management of KFUO has given priority, during the past
year and a half, to the reorganization of the staff, work, and
procedures.

We are now ready to begin the reorganizing of our program
structure and broadcasting activities to permit more effective
preaching of the Gospel and to the further development of
co-ordinated activities with other groups and departments of
our church.

The following statements are in the nature of a progress report,
under this heading:

The working staff of KFUO on January 1, 1955, consisted of
26 full-time employees and 22 part-time employees. The working
staff of KFUO on December 31, 1955, consisted of 17 full-time
employees and six part-time employees. There are some further
adjustments to be made, which we hope to complete within the
near future.
