Dear Licensee:
This letter is with respect to your April 26, 2011 responses to the Video Division’s March
25, 2011 letters concerning the late-filed Children’s Television Programming Reports of the
above-captioned stations, all of which are licensed as Class A television stations.
As described in our March 25, 2011 letters to each station, Class A television stations
must prepare a Children’s Television Programming Report for each calendar quarter reflecting
efforts made by the licensee during the quarter, as well as efforts planned for the next quarter, to
serve the educational and informational needs of children. In addition, FCC Form 398 Children’s
Television Programming Report must be filed electronically with the Commission on a quarterly
basis by the tenth day of the succeeding calendar quarter. In the letters, the Video Division
informed the Licensee that Commission records showed that each of the above-captioned stations
failed to complete electronic filings of its Children’s Television Programming Reports for 2007,
2008, 2009, and 2010.
In the April 26, 2011 responses, the Licensee stated that a station representative in fact
attempted to file each of the missing reports on behalf of each of the stations in a timely manner
but that a filing error prevented their proper submission. The Licensee further stated that all
Children’s Television Programming Reports and accompanying programming information were
available timely in the stations’ public files. Upon receipt of the letters, the Licensee immediately
filed the missing reports and has filed the reports on behalf of each of the stations in a timely
manner each quarter since that time.
We will consider the failure to file the required forms here a de minimis violation.
Although we do not rule out more severe sanctions for violations of this nature in the future, even
in cases where the violation is caused by a clerical error, we have determined that an admonition
is appropriate at this time. Therefore, based upon the facts and circumstances before us, we
ADMONISH you for this violation of Section 73.3526(e)(11)(iii) of the Commission’s Rules.1
We remind you that the Commission expects all commercial television licensees to ensure that
Children’s Television Programming Reports are properly filed with the Commission.

47 C.F.R. § 73.3526(e)(11)(iii).

Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that, a copy of this Letter shall be sent by First Class and
Certified Mail, Return Receipt Requested to the licensee at the address listed above.

Sincerely,

Hossein Hashemzadeh
Deputy Chief, Video Division
Media Bureau
