Dear Licensee:
This refers to your license renewal application for station KHMT(TV), Hardin, MT.
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 Rules 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 December 1, 2005, you filed a license renewal application (FCC Form 303-S) for station 
KHMT(TV), Hardin, Montana (File No. BRCT-20051201AKG).  In Exhibit 24, you report that 
you did not publicize the existence and location of the station’s Children’s Television 
Programming Reports from May 2, 2005 through the week of November 7, 2005.3 By way of

explanation, you state that announcements pertaining to the existence and location of the 
Children’s Television Programming Reports were inadvertently excluded from the log.  You 
maintain that these announcements are now included on the log and will continued to be aired.  
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)(iii) of the Rules described in station KHMT(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 Mission Broadcasting, Inc. at the address listed
