Question Response
Does the Licensee publicize the existence and location of the station's Children's Television Programming Reports (FCC 398) as required by 47 C.F.R. Section 73.3526(e)(11)(iii)? Yes
Name of children's programming liaison Pat Patton

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. The station no longer has an analog channel. The licensee's response to 7(b) therefore assumes that the station's current main program stream serves as the equivalent to the station's former analog channel. Due to an administrative oversight, Licensee has not provided all required information to publishers of program guides since at least January, 2009. To the extent Licensee has previously responded to question 3 and 9 of the FCC Form 398 to the contrary, Licensee hereby amends and corrects its previous filings. Upon discovering the error, Licensee now provides all information to program publishers going forward in compliance with Section 73.673 of the Commission's Rules.
