Dear Licensee:
This letter refers to your license renewal application for station KASW(TV), Phoenix, AZ.
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 June 1, 2006, you filed the above-referenced license renewal application for station 
KASW(TV).  In response to Section IV, Question 5 of that application, you certify that, during 
the previous license term, station KASW(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 KASW(TV) exceeded the children’s television 
commercial limits by 90 seconds on October 18, 2003.  You attribute this overage to human error 
and/or inadvertence on the part of GDMX, the facility that compiled commercial and 
promotional content into all WB Network programming.

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 is not an impediment to a renewal of KASW(TV)’s 
license.1 Finding you fully qualified to remain a Commission licensee, we conclude that a grant 
of your application for renewal of license for station KASW(TV) would serve the public interest, 
convenience and necessity, and BRCT-20060601AZQ IS HEREBY GRANTED.  
Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that, a copy of this Letter shall be sent by First Class and 
Certified Mail, Return Receipt Requested to KASW-TV, Inc., at the address listed above, and to 
Kathleen Kirby, Esquire, Wiley Rein & Fielding LLP, 1776 K Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 
20006.
 
Sincerely,
Barbara A. Kreisman
