Dear Licensee:
This refers to your license renewal application for station KOLR(TV), Springfield, MO.
Section 73.3526 of the Commission’s Rules (Rules) requires a commercial broadcast licensee to 
maintain a public inspection file containing specific types of information related to station 
operations.1 Pursuant to subsection 73.3526(e)(11)(ii), each commercial television broadcast 
station is required to place in its public inspection file, on a quarterly basis, records sufficient to 
allow substantiation of the licensee’s certification, in its renewal application, of its compliance 
with the children’s television commercial limits imposed by Section 73.670 of the Rules.2 This 
subsection of Section 73.3526 requires licensees to place such records concerning commercial 
limits for each quarter in the station’s public inspection file by the tenth day of the succeeding 
calendar quarter.  Where lapses occur in maintaining the public file, neither the negligent acts 
nor omissions of station employees or agents, nor the subsequent remedial actions undertaken by 
the licensee, excuse or nullify the licensee’s rule violation.3
On October 3, 2005, you filed the above-referenced license renewal application for station 
KOLR(TV).  In response to Section IV, Question 3 of that application, you certify that, during 
the previous license term, station KOLR(TV) failed to place in the public inspection file at the 
appropriate times, all of the documentation required by Section 73.3526 of the Commission’s 
Rules.  In Exhibit 17, you state that a recent review of the station’s public inspection file 
  
1 See 47 C.F.R. § 73.3526.
2 See 47 C.F.R. § 73.670.
3 See Padre Serra Communications, Inc., 14 FCC Rcd 9709 (1999) (citing Gaffney Broadcasting, Inc., 23 FCC 2d 
912, 913 (1970) and Eleven Ten Broadcasting Corp., 33 FCC 706 (1962)); Surrey Range Limited Partnership, 71 
RR 2d 882 (FOB 1992).

revealed that records regarding compliance with the commercial limits on children’s 
programming for the first quarters of 1998 and 1999 were missing.    You claim that the 
KOLR(TV) has verified its compliance with the commercial limits and has placed copies of the 
missing records concerning compliance with the commercial limits in the public file.
Although we do not rule out more severe sanctions for violations of this nature in the future, 
based upon the record before us 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 violations of Section 73.3526(e)(11)(ii) of the Rules described in station KOLR(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 the licensee 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.
