WALA'S on-air news anchors, as well as other employees, were active in in-school reading programs for young children. Station acknowledges that due to clerical errors, several make goods were delayed or not run.

Despite these concerns, the station aired seven children's programs on its D1 channel, and even subtracting make good issues, aired an average of 3 hours a week of kidvid programming. The station is also addressing issues with its master control workflow regarding notifications of make goods. |
