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. After due review of internal station records and documentation provided to us by program suppliers, the licensee hereby certifies as follows: (i) the only programs specifically designed for children ages twelve and under the station broadcast this quarter are disclosed in this report and (ii) the licensee fully complied with the FCC's commercial limits in children's programs as specified at 47 C.F.R. section 73.671 with respect to these programs.

Due to switcher issues, the E/I bug was not displayed during children's programming during a portion of the 1st quarter. As soon as the station identified the oversight (January 19, 2013), the station re-programmed the switcher and the E/I bug matter was corrected.
