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 licensee has reviewed internal station records and documentation provided to us by program suppliers for compliance with the FCC's commercial limits in children's programs (47 C.F.R. Section 73.670) and the licensee hereby certifies that the station fully complied with these limits for all programs specifically designed for children ages twelve (12) and under. In addition to the programs listed in this report, the station broadcast the following programs specifically designed for children ages twelve (12) and under: NONE. WALA scheduled many elementary and middle school groups for in studio classes which emphasized how good writing skills and computer literacy were necessary if they wanted to pursue a career in television. WALA'S on-air news anchors, as well as other employees, were active in in-school reading programs for young children. Cozi-TV (D2) launched June 10, 2015. This Form 398 amends the timely filed Form 398 that WALA TV filed on 10/04/2016. WALA TV faced the expiration of several childrens programming contracts prior to the end of the quarter. As a result WALA TV attempted to fill in with other childrens programming while it obtained new programming. WALA TV notes that it airs 7 childrens shows of 30 minutes each on its primary stream so it averages the time for this quarter at approximately 3.3 hours given the programming changes. |
