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. | WMUR (main channel): In 4th quarter 2016, local programming (Veteran's Day Telethon) pre-empted "Teen Kids News" on Sun. 11/13; Network Sports pre-empted "Teen Kids News" on Sun. 11/20; Network/Holiday programming pre-empted "Rock the Park" and "Outback Adventures" on Sun. 12/25; Network Sports pre-empted "Sea Rescue" and "The Wildlife Docs" on Sat. 12/31, and will be rescheduled in early January 2017, which is in the First Quarter of 2017. Accordingly, that rescheduled show will be "counted" in the First Quarter 2017 report, and it has not been "counted" towards the Core Programming total in this Fourth Quarter 2016 report. One or more episodes of children's programming that was preempted during the quarter was not rescheduled. The Digital Core Programming Summary section of this report would not permit the station to include preemption reports for such unrescheduled preemptions, and FCC Staff has advised that no preemption report for such unrescheduled episodes is necessary. |
