| 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 January 7, 2017, the Charlotte, NC area experienced a severe snow and ice storm that caused the loss of The CW network feed at WCCB-TV. This technical outage of the network feed lead to the loss of three hours of E/I programs CALLING DR. POL and DOG WHISPERER WITH CESAR MILAN FAMILY EDITION from 7am-10am. There were no other network feeds available that would allow rescheduling these unplanned and unavoidable E/I preemptions. In an effort to make good this shortfall of E/I programming in the coming months, we added the syndicated E/I show TEEN KIDS NEWS to WCCB's CW affiliated primary channel on February 26, 2017 where it will air for 23 consecutive Sundays at 1pm. 2) One or more episodes of children's programming that was pre-empted during the quarter was not rescheduled. the Digital Core Programming Summary Section of this report would not permit the station to include pre-emption reports for un-rescheduled pre-emptions, and FCC Staff has advised that no pre-emption report for un-rescheduled episodes is necessary. 3) The station's core programming reported in the Digital Core Programming Section takes into account the fact the Q1 2017 only had 12 Saturdays, the calculation is "artificially" low to the extent of this quirk of the calendar. |
