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. | Due to a technical error, 12.5 hours of Bounce Network programming that aired between 9/10/16 and 10/15/16 did not contain the E/I symbol. The technical issue has since been resolved, and, with one exception on 11/05/16, all regularly scheduled Bounce E/I programming has included the E/I symbol as of 10/22/16. Bounce established new processes to ensure that this issue does not recur. To address any possible concerns about compliance with FCC requirements for E/I programming, Bounce rebroadcast the 12.5 hours of E/I programming that originally aired without the E/I symbol, for a total of 12.5 hours of E/I programming in addition to Bounce's regularly scheduled E/I programming. See attached Bounce Make Up Broadcasts attachment. The FCC staff was notified of the error and the steps taken to resolve the error. |
