See 47 C.F.R. Section 73.671, NOTES 2 and 3. WHAG, in conjunction with the NBC affiliation, aired a number of PSA's "The More You Know" PSA's. The October total was 79, the November total was 72 and the December total was 104. The :10 and :30 themes of these PSA's deal with the environment, tolerance, mentoring, and violence prevention. The More You Know's website (www.nbc.com/tmyk) features scripts from the award-winning public service announcements referral information for the organizations referenced in the PSA's, a general campaign over view, and educational materials produced in connection with NBC programming. The site also includes a list of the campaigns's most recent accolades. During the quarter, there were 8 news stories appropriate for children that aired on either the 5PM or 6PM newscast.
