See 47 C.F.R. Section 73.671, NOTES 2 and 3. | October 27, 2018 EI programming from 1008am to 1130am was preempted due to breaking news coverage of a synagogue shooting in Pittsburgh. December 1, 2018 EI programming from 1041am to 1051am was preempted due to breaking news coverage of the President's G20 Meeting. Due to an error in programming provided directly from the network, on October 27, 2018 at 1130am, episode 304 of Rock the Park aired without the required E/I graphic. As a result, we did not include the October 27 run of Rock the Park episode 304 in our core E/I totals. Rock the Park episode 304 ran again in its second home on November 3 at 12pm with the E/I graphic, and that run is included in the core E/I programming.
