| 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 September 1, 2018, core programs Jack Hanna's Wild Countdown (Sat 9am), Ocean Treks (930am) Sea Rescue (Sat 10am), Wildlife Doc (Sat 1030am) were preempted from their regularly scheduled times to air breaking news coverage of the funeral proceedings of American Hero and Senator John McCain. The station was able to reschedule Jack Hanna and Ocean Treks to their second homes. However, the late-breaking nature if Senator McCain's passing and scheduling of his funeral service were beyond the control of the station and made it impractical for the station to reschedule Sea Rescue and Wildlife Docs. 2. One or more episodes of children's programming that was preempted during the quarter was 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 FCC Staff has advised that no preemption report for such unrescheduled episodes is necessary. 3. Effective September 1, 2018, the station switched the affiliation of its secondary digital program stream from Movie Network to Justice Network. |
