Dear Licensee:
This refers to your license renewal application for station KGTV(TV), San Diego, CA.
In the Children’s Television Act of 1990, Pub. L. No. 101-437, 104 Stat. 996-1000, codified  at
47 U.S.C. Sections 303a, 303b and 394, Congress directed the Commission to adopt rules, inter 
alia, limiting the number of minutes of commercial matter that television stations may air during 
children’s programming, and to consider in its review of television license renewals the extent to 
which the licensee has complied with such commercial limits.  Pursuant to this statutory 
mandate, the Commission adopted Section 73.670 of the Rules, 47 C.F.R. § 73.670, which limits 
the amount of commercial matter which may be aired during children’s programming to 10.5 
minutes per hour on weekends and 12 minutes per hour on weekdays.  Children’s Television 
Programming, 6 FCC Rcd 2111, 2118, recon. granted in part, 6 FCC Rcd 5093, 5098 (1991).  
On July 31, 2006, you filed the above-referenced license renewal application for station 
KGTV(TV).  In response to Section IV, Question 5 of that application, you certify that, during 
the previous license term, station KGTV(TV) failed to comply with the limitations on 
commercial matter in children’s programming specified in Section 73.670 of the Commission’s 
Rules.  In Exhibit 19, you indicate that station KGTV(TV) exceeded the children’s television 
commercial limits on three occasions between February 12, 2005, and March 20, 2005.  Of those 
overages, two were 15-seconds in duration and one was one minute in duration.  You attribute 
the overages to inadvertence and describe corrective actions take to prevent future violations.
It appears from the information before us that the overages in question were isolated violations 
of the children’s television commercial limits.  Such de minimis violations of Section 73.670 of 
2
the Commission’s Rules do not warrant further consideration in connection with KGTV(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 McGraw-Hill Broadcasting Company, Inc. at the 
address listed above, and to Kevin P. Latek, Esquire, Dow Lohnes PLLC, 1200 New Hampshire 
Avenue, N.W., Suite 800, Washington, D.C. 20036.
 
Sincerely,
Barbara A. Kreisman
