File No. BRCT-20041130AME
Dear Licensee:
This refers to your license renewal application for station WDHN(TV), Dothan, Alabama.
Under the Commission’s rules implementing the Children’s Television Act of 1990 (CTA),1
each television broadcast station licensee has an obligation, during its license term, to air 
programming that serves the educational and informational needs of children through both the 
licensee’s overall programming and programming “specifically designed” to educate and inform 
children (core programming).2 The Commission’s rules require commercial licensees to provide 
information to the public about the shows they air to fulfill their obligation.  Section 
73.3526(e)(11)(iii) of the Commission’s Rules, 47 C.F.R. § 73.3526(e)(11)(iii), requires each 
commercial television broadcast station to prepare and place in its public inspection file a 
Children’s Television Programming Report for each calendar quarter reflecting, inter alia, the 
efforts it has made during the quarter to serve the educational needs of children.  As set forth in 
Section 73.3526(e)(11)(iii), licensees are also required to file the reports with the Commission 
and to publicize for the public the existence and location of the reports.  
On November 30, 2004, you filed the above-referenced license renewal application for station 
WDHN(TV) (BRCT-20041130AME).  In response to Section IV, Question 10 of that 
application, you certify that the licensee failed to publicize the existence and location of the 
station’s Children’s Television Programming Reports.  In Exhibit 24, you indicate that the 
station has not publicized the existence and location of the Children’s Television Programming 
  
1 Pub. L. No. 101-437, 104 Stat. 996-1000, codified at 47 U.S.C. §§ 303a, 303b and 394.
2 47 C.F.R. § 73.671.
2
Reports since at least August 1, 2003.  You asserted that the licensee would begin broadcasting 
notices regarding the Children’s Television Programming Reports immediately.  
We believe that an admonition is warranted for the licensee’s failure to publicize the existence 
and location of station WDHN(TV)’s Children’s Television Programming Reports.  Although we 
do not rule out more severe sanctions for violations of this nature in the future, we have 
determined that an admonition is appropriate at this time.  Therefore, based upon the facts and 
circumstances before us, we ADMONISH you for the admitted violation of Section 
73.3526(e)(11)(iii) of the Rules described in station WDHN(TV)’s renewal application.
Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that, a copy of this Letter shall be sent by First Class and 
Certified Mail, Return Receipt Requested to Nexstar Broadcasting, Inc. at the address listed 
above, and to its counsel, Elizabeth Hammond, Esquire, Drinker Biddle & Reath LLP, 1500 K 
Street, N.W., Suite 1100, Washington, D.C. 20005.
Sincerely,
Barbara A. Kreisman
