13 - Childrens Programming

(13) Children’s Television Programming Reports. The Children’s Television Act of 1990 and our rules require all TV stations to air programming that serves the educational and informational needs of children 16 and under, including programming that is specifically designed to serve such needs. In addition, commercial TV stations must make and retain Children’s Television Programming Reports identifying the educational and informational programming for children aired by the station. (Noncommercial stations are not required to prepare these reports.) The report must include the name of the person at the station responsible for collecting comments on the station’s compliance with the Children’s Television Act. The report filed is FCC #398. The station has to prepare these reports each calendar quarter, and it must place them in the public file separately from the file’s other material. Stations must keep the reports for the remainder of their license terms.

You can view each station’s reports on the FCC web site at http://fjallfoss.fcc.gov/KidVid/public/report/10/query.faces

Use this link above to get information on the children’s programming offered by a particular commercial TV station. This provides you with access to a station’s FCC 398 Report. Note: You may enter a portion of the Call Sign (for example, WTJR will match both “WTJR” and “WTJR-TV”, no matter how it was entered on the FCC 398). *
