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. 1. On July 7, 2019 ME-TV Network encountered technical difficulties between 8:56:56 am and 9:16 am. The 8:30 am Beakman's World was cut-off and Bill Nye beginning at 9:00 am was joined in progress. Both half-hours were counted for this report. 2. One or more episodes of children's programming that were preempted during the quarter were 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 the FCC Staff has advised that no preemption report for such unrescheduled episodes is necessary.
