Does the Licensee publicize the existence and location of the station's Children's Television Programming Reports (FCC 398) as required by 47 C.F.R. Section 73.3526(e)(11)(iii)? Yes

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. The station gives tours to children and other community groups upon request. Our meteorologist explains weather and station components, including weather computers and how they track the weather systems. On December 31 2016 Rock the Park and Outback Adventures with Tim Faulkner were preempted, and they were rescheduled on January 1 2017. Accordingly we are counting that rescheduled show as part of the instant First Quarter 2017 report and it was not counted towards the Core Programming total in the Fourth Quarter 2016 report. The stations childrens core programming average set forth in the Digital Core Programming section of this report takes into account the fact that the First Quarter 2017 only had 12 Saturdays. Because all of the stations core programs on the multicast program streams aired on Saturdays, the calculation in the Digital Core Programming section is artificially low as a result of the calendrical quirk.
