Dear Licensee:
This letter refers to your license renewal application for station WDRB(TV), Louisville, KY.
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).  
The commercial limitations became effective on January 1, 1992.  Children’s Television 
Programming, 6 FCC Rcd 5529, 5530 (1991).
On April 1, 2005, you filed the above-referenced license renewal application for station 
WDRB(TV). In response to Section IV, Question 5 of that application, you certify that, during 
the previous license term, station WDRB(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 state that station WDRB(TV) exceeded the children’s television 
commercial limits on seven occasions between November 10, 1997, and May 4, 2003.  Of those 
seven overages, two were 15 seconds in duration, one was 20 seconds in duration, two were 25 
seconds in duration, one was 30 seconds in duration, and one was 40 seconds in duration.  You 
attribute the overages to inadvertent errors and maintain that the licensee has implemented 
several policies to avoid similar violations in the future.  
2
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 
the Commission’s Rules do not warrant further consideration in connection with WDRB(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 Independence Television Company, at the address 
listed above, and to John R. Feore, Jr., Esquire, Dow, Lohnes & Albertson, PLLC, 1200 New 
Hampshire Avenue, N.W., Suite 800, Washington, D.C. 20036.
 
Sincerely,
Barbara A. Kreisman
