WKEX-AM maintains an internship program designed to assist members of the community, mainly students from local colleges and universities, to acquire skills needed for broadcast employment.  Those students who are involved in the internship program gain knowledge in the areas of production/operations and the application of sports play-by-play / statistics during a live game, plus the requirements for a live radio show and overall business skills in order to get real experiences in broadcasting.  During the reporting period two (2) students participated in the internship program.  Both were men.
