Federal Communications Commission Washington, D.C. 20554 May 22, 2008 DA 08-1199 Released: May 22, 2008 CERTIFIED MAIL – RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED Post-Newsweek Stations, San Antonio, LP KSAT-TV 1408 St. Mary’s Street San Antonio, TX 78215 Re: Post-Newsweek Stations, San Antonio, LP KSAT-TV, San Antonio, TX Facility ID 53118 File No. BRCT-20060324ACN Dear Licensee: This letter refers to your license renewal application for station KSAT-TV, San Antonio, TX. 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 March 24, 2006, you filed the above-referenced license renewal application for station KSAT-TV. In response to Section IV, Question 5 of that application, you certify that, during the previous license term, station KSAT-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 and in a July 24, 2006 amendment to that application, you indicate that station KSAT- TV exceeded the children’s television commercial limits by one minute and seventeen seconds on June 10, 2006. You attribute this overage to inadvertence and describe corrective actions taken to prevent future violations. 2 It appears from the information before us that the overage in question was an isolated 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 KSAT-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 Post-Newsweek Stations, San Antonio, LP at the address listed above and to its counsel, William H. Fitz, Esquire, Covington & Burling, LLP, 1201 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20004-2401. Sincerely, Barbara A. Kreisman Chief, Video Division Media Bureau
