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

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 6.5 hours per week of core children's television programming, or 78 hours per 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 72 hours which is still 33 hours more (72 vs. 39 hours) for its primary digital channel as required by Commission Rule 73.671 (Note 2). Furthermore the station aired an average of 96.9 hours per week of additional core children's television programming, or 1260 hours for the quarter on its three digital sub-channels. This represents 1143 hours, on average, above the 117 hours of additional children's television programming per quarter specified by the Commission in this circumstance.
