| 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. | As the Commission's files reflect, the station normally airs 84.50 hours/week of core children's television programming or 6.5 x 13 hours/quarter on its primary digital channel. Even during a quarter when the station airs its preemptive bi-annual telethon, the station's quarterly children's programming is providing 45.50 more hours of children's programming (84.50 hours vs. 39 hours) for its primary digital channel as required by Commission Rule 73.671 (Note 2). Furthermore, the station aired 106 hours per week of additional core children's television programming, or 1261 hours, on average, above the 117 hours of additional children's television programming per quarter specified by the Commission in this circumstance. |
