WXIX-TV is also involved in a variety of ongoing and seasonal non-broadcast activities such as Food From the Heart food drives, career day presentations, community festivals, and promoting severe weather awareness and safety. Due to a technical error at the Bounce network, the E/I children's programs, "All In with Laila Ali" and "Everyday Health" were aired without the E/I graphic through October 15, 2016. Some episodes of the E/I program "Culture Click" aired without the E/I graphic through November 5, 2016. The network was put on notice and it remedied the issue, and WXIX-TV has implemented additional procedures to monitor the presence of the E/I graphic. The affected programming was re-aired with the E/I Symbol on Sundays from 10am-12:30pm, October 30, 2016 - December 11, 2016. |
