Dear Licensee:
This letter refers to your license renewal application for station WXMI(TV), Grand Rapids, MI.
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 May 31, 2005, you filed the above-referenced license renewal application for station 
WXMI(TV).  In response to Section IV, Question 5 of that application, you certify that, during 
the previous license term, station WXMI(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 WXMI(TV) exceeded the children’s television 
commercial limits by 30 seconds on January 26, 2001. You attribute the overage to human error
in airing a commercial make-good during a children’s program, and maintain that station 
WXMI(TV) took corrective actions to prevent further overages.  
2
It appears from the information before us that the overage in question was an isolated and 
inadvertent violation of the children’s television commercial limits.  Such de minimis violation of 
Section 73.670 of the Commission’s Rules does not warrant further consideration in connection 
with WXMI(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, R. Clark Wadlow, Esquire, Sidley Austin Brown & Wood, 1501 K Street, N.W., 
Washington, D.C. 20005.
 
Sincerely,
Barbara A. Kreisman
