Include any other comments or information you want the Commission to consider in evaluating your compliance with the Children's Television Act (or use this space for supplemental explanations). This may include information on any other noncore educational and informational programming that you aired this quarter or plan to air during the next quarter, or any existing or proposed non-broadcast efforts that will enhance the educational and informational value of such programming to children. See 47 C.F.R. Section 73.671, NOTES 2 and 3. | Saturday December 12, FOX Sports coverage preempted four E/I programs from their regularly scheduled times. These programs, Xploration Station Earth 2050; Xploration Station Animal Science; Live Life and Win and Sports Stars of Tomorrow were moved to KDFI (KDFW's sister station) for broadcast on that day. KDFW will run two additional hours of programming in 2Q 2016 to make up for the 4Q 2015 shortfall in programming due to sports coverage, which will average out as 3.00 hours of programming over a six-month period. |
