The tours are open to discussions about broadcasting by the participants and gives participants an opportunity to learn about the internal workings of a broadcast facility and the people who run it. However, during the Covid-19 pandemic, most of the supplemental recruitment activities in which KEYL and KXDL would typically participate (Station tours, internships, job fairs and the like) generally involve or require close human contact. These activities have been cancelled or postponed due to stay at home orders, mandatory social distancing and related pandemic safety precautions. It is unknown how long these precautions will extend.
