FCC Cites Stations for Kids Violations

FCC CITES STATIONS FOR CEREAL VIOLATIONS
[SOURCE: Broadcasting&Cable, AUTHOR: John Eggerton]
The FCC admonished (an official reprimand) two stations Wednesday for host selling in their kids shows. It also reprimanded another station for failing to keep proper records on file, but took no action against two minor Kids TV ad overages on two other stations. All five are Florida stations seeking license renewals and all five volunteered the various transgressions as part of their renewal applications. The FCC has been working through a backlog of renewals (the Florida applications were submitted Feb. 1, 2005), but it took no action on any of the five renewals Wednesday. The admonitions are not expected to hold up the applications any more than they already are.
