The FCC has proposed fines for four stations that violated its children's TV reporting rules. The FCC requires stations to keep public files on their efforts to program educational shows and the amount of commercial time in those shows. WMDT(TV) Salisbury (MD) conceded that it had never publicized the existence or location of its children's TV programing reports. The FCC said it constituted a willfull and repeated violation and proposed the $10,000 fine. The station has 30 days to pay up or appeal the fine.
