Federal Communications Commission Washington, D.C. 20554 June 4, 2008 DA 08-1293 Released: June 4, 2008 CERTIFIED MAIL – RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED Journal Broadcast Corporation KTNV(TV) 3355 South Valley View Boulevard Las Vegas, NV 89102 Re: Journal Broadcast Corporation KTNV(TV), Las Vegas, NV Facility ID No. 74100 File No. BRCT-20060601ATP Dear Licensee: This refers to your license renewal application for station KTNV(TV), Las Vegas, NV. 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 KTNV(TV). In response to Section IV, Question 5 of that application, you certify that, during the previous license term, station KTNV(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 an October 25, 2006 amendment to the license renewal application, you state that station KTNV(TV) exceeded the children’s television commercial limits on three occasions between September 10, 2006, and September 17, 2006. Of those three overages, two were 60 seconds in duration and one was 90 seconds in duration. 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 KTNV(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, Mace J. Rosenstein, Esquire, Covington & Burling LLP, 1201 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20004. Sincerely, Barbara A. Kreisman Chief, Video Division Media Bureau
