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. | Due to the end of analog on 6/12/09, KCPQ no longer has analog broadcasts, and therefore, the answer to 7(b) is "no." On 11/2/15, KCPQ began broadcasting This TV on 13.2. Effective 1/29/16, KCPQ will begin broadcasting Escape TV on 13.3, and therefore, the E/I programs that will air on that channel have been entered in the "Other Matters" section of this report. The 10/3 episode of Xploration Animal Science had been rescheduled same day to air at 2p, due to sports. Because baseball ran very long that date, the program actually aired at 2:21-2:51p. Unanticipated network sports events caused extra pre-emptions of the 9-10a E/I schedule. Regular E/I schedules have been further adjusted starting 1st qtr 2016, with the hope of minimizing such possibilities. |
