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. | Effective September 17, 2016, KUSI-TV added a new slate of E/I programming to the schedule, & programs from the old block were either moved or replaced. Throughout the process KUSI-TV aired a minimum of 3 hours every week, in compliance with FCC rules. Start & end dates are outlined beside each program in the "Digital Core Program Summary", together with a note, next to the "Day/Time regularly scheduled" question, on the programs that were moved. Also effective on 9/17/16, KUSI-TV will air 3.5 hours of E/I programming during core, and an additional 1 hour during non-core hours. In summary, the following are the changes made to our Kids Block: "Jack Hanna Animal Adventures" and "Exploration with Jarod Miller"ended on 9/10/16. "Ocean Mysteries", "Expedition Wild", "Brain Games", "Dog Town" & Hatched all started on 9/17/16 "Teen Kids News" and "Jack Hanna - Into the Wild" moved to different time-slots during core hours. "Live Life and Win" and "Made in Hollywood Teen" moved to non-core hours. Although these two children's programs were broadcast outside of the core hours, they can be recorded and replayed during children's viewing hours. |
