See 47 C.F.R. Section 73.671, NOTES 2 and 3. | WNYT-TV, LLC has timely filed its license renewal application. The renewal is pending. WNYT-TV, LLC ceased broadcasting its analog channel on 6/12/2009 per FCC. WNYT-TV WNYT-TV - Children's Report First Quarter January 2012 Strep OCD January 1, 2012 - 8:00 am Strep OCD is a very rare condition that only people with biological susceptibility can get. In many cases symptoms in children may disappear as the child reaches adulthood. ADHD Risk - January 2, 2012 - 5:00 pm - January 3, 2012 - 12:00 pm Children born to mothers with both low socio-economic status and gestational diabetes during pregnancy were found to be at risk for developing ADHD 14 times the normal risk as reported in a new study. Those children also had lower I-Q and language abilities and poorer behavioral and emotional functioning. The researchers studied more than 200 young children and say the two risk factors appear to have no link on their own. Cola and Liver Fat - January 3, 2012 - 5:00 pm Researchers in Denmark say children and young people who drink large amounts of soft drinks are at particularly high risk of developing diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Drinking large amounts of soda could also increase the fat in their liver and muscle tissue. Daycare Fitness - January 4, 2012 - 5:00 pm A new study find many pre-school aged kids in daycare centers are spending their time inside doing sedentary activities. Researchers say the three biggest barriers to physical activity were injury concerns, budget cuts and a focus on academics. Due to stricter licensing codes, playgrounds have also become less physically challenging. Car Backup Dangers - January 5, 2012 - 5:00 am Over a dozen small children are killed or injured each year in the United States when a car backs over them. An advocacy group is calling for mandatory backup cameras for new cars. Data collected from 7 hospitals in California revealed 46 kids were killed and 100 injured. To help prevent these accidents the group wants rearview cameras to be required in all new American made cars. Some in the auto industry say it will cost too much. The National Highway Traffic Safety Association has been considering a mandate since December 2010. While a camera may prevent some accidents there are worries it would give drivers a false sense of security. HPV Vaccine - January 5, 2012 - 12:00 pm A new study shows that some girls wrongly think getting the HPV vaccine means they don't have to practice safe sex. The vaccine protects against some strains of the Human Papilloma Virus, which can lead to cervical cancer but does protect against other STDs. Researchers surveyed more than three hundred teenage girls and almost a quarter thought they were less likely to get STDs after getting the vaccine. Lead Levels - January 5, 2012 - 5:00 pm - January 6, 2012 - 5:00 am A panel of experts says the CDC should cut the threshold in half for lead levels in children. If the CDC moves forward with the change, it's predicted that hundreds of thousands of children would meet the criteria for lead poisoning. Tips for Teens Outboard - January 6, 2012 - 5:00 pm Facebook has a safety center on its site and has some tips for teens. Firstly, do not share your password with anyone. When you accept friend requests, make sure they are people you know. Don't post anything you wouldn't want your parents or teachers to see and be authentic. The real you is better than the fantasy person you're pretending to be. The FBI also has an online safety guide for parents on its website to help determine if your child may be at risk. Going to WNYT.com and clicking on News Links can find the link to the FBI site. ADHD Drugs - January 9, 2012 - 5:00 am A nationwide shortage of ADHD drugs is forcing some parents to drive from pharmacy to pharmacy in order to get their children's prescriptions. With more than 51.5 million prescriptions written in 2010 and a growing underground mark |
