Is all the software on your station computers licensed? I know it's expensive, but it's important and necessary. Unlicensed software can expose the company to legal action and unnecessary expense if discovered. Have your "IT" person check.

I suggest this every quarter. Once again it's time to review the public file. Make sure the person in charge has all files complete & updated. EEO recruiting is documented & up to date. Post all openings first. Many forget this. The FCC doesn't.

Thanksgiving is a little more than a month away. The time to set the remote schedule is now. Have a package/plan on the street by Friday.

By now you should know where your year is going to come out. How was your performance? Overall if you were 10% or more ahead of last year (Cash flow) you did a great job. 5-10% was pretty good. 0-5% will keep you in the job, but don't look for a raise, and below last year? Well, if it's a one time event you'll be ok. If this is you're second year of no growth, better get the resume updated.
