| Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. | Pets focuses on the everyday lives of four anthropomorphic animals and their dysfunctional interactions with each other. They live in a filthy, rundown house, although it has working electricity and running water. There is never a human owner visible or even evident. The episodes are self-contained, and set entirely within the house. Most of the events that take place tend to be surreal, contain strong elements of black comedy and off-colour humour, and frequently make references to pop culture subjects. Pets also follows a rather traditional sitcom technique by using a "reset button". Each of the Pets have died at least once, only to reappear alive and well in the next episode. Events from previous episodes are never referred to, but unseen events from the past are often mentioned. |

| 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. | On Friday, October 7, 2016, station personnel for Lima Communications Corporation, licensee of WLIO-TV, Lima, Ohio (Facility ID 37503) (the "station") filed the third quarter FCC Form for the station. Upon checking the online public inspection file for the station on October 11, 2016, station personnel determined that the Form 398 was missing from the online public inspection file and the FCC's Licensing and Management System (LMS). Station personnel attempted to refile the Form 398, but LMS was not properly functioning and did not provide an option to file a children's television programming report for WLIO-TV. Station personnel contacted technical support staff of the FCC and spoke with a technician about the issue. The technician assigned the matter case number 2859128. Out of abundance of caution, station personnel prepared a third quarter 398 using the paper form and timely uploaded a copy to the Station's online public inspection file on October 11, 2016. The FCC's technical support team resolved the LMS issue: therefore, station personnel filed the electronic copy of the 398 in LMS. |
