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. | One or more episodes of children's programming that were preempted during the quarter were 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 episode is necessary. During the Third Quarter of 2019, KCRA-TV scheduled 4 Teen Kids News Special Edition episodes of the regularly scheduled core children's program Teen Kids News. These aired in back-to-back time slots, to create a "mini-marathon" of the program on August 11th. This mini-marathon aired outside of the "second home" time slot to help promote the audience awareness of the program and further educate and inform the teen audience of important news stories in the Third Quarter of 2019. |
