Dear Licensee:
This refers to your license renewal application for station KVUE(TV), Austin, TX.
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 (the “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 (FCC Form 398) 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 April 3, 2006, you filed the above-referenced license renewal application for station 
KVUE(TV).  In response to Section IV, Question 10, you stated that you failed to publicize the 
existence and location of the station’s Children’s Television Programming Reports, as set forth 
in Section 73.3526(e)(11)(iii) of the Rules.  In Exhibit 24, you indicated that station 
KVUE(TV)’s traffic system was changed in 2003 and that during this transition, “the contract 
  
1 Pub. L. No. 101-437, 104 Stat. 996-1000, codified at 47 U.S.C. Sections 303a, 303b and 394.
2 47 C.F.R. § 73.671.
2
providing for scheduling of on-air announcements regarding KVUE’s children’s television 
reports” was mistakenly eliminated.  You reported that, no announcements concerning the 
existence and location of station KVUE(TV)’s Children’s Television Programming Reports were 
broadcast between March 2003 and December 2005.  You asserted that when you discovered this 
error in December 2005, you immediately took steps to resume broadcasting announcements 
concerning station KVUE(TV)’s Children’s Television Programming Reports.
Based on the record before us, we think that an admonition is warranted for the station’s failure 
to publicize the existence and location of the 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 violations of Section 
73.3526(e)(11)(iii) of the Rules described in station KVUE(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 KVUE Television, Inc. at the address listed above, 
and to its counsel, Kathleen Kirby, Esquire, Wiley Rein & Fielding LLP, 1776 K Street, N.W., 
Washington, D.C. 20006.
Sincerely,
Barbara A. Kreisman
