Dear Licensee:
This letter refers to your license renewal application for station KCNC-TV, Denver, Colorado.
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 December 1, 2005, you filed the above-referenced license renewal application for station 
KCNC-TV.  In response to Section IV, Question 5 of that application, you certify that, during the 
previous license term, station KCNC-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 an April 12, 2006 amendment to the renewal application, you indicate that station 
KCNC-TV exceeded the children’s television commercial limits by 28 seconds on June 10, 
2000.

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 KCNC-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 CBS Television Stations Inc. at the address listed 
above and to its counsel, Anne Lucey, Esquire, CBS Corporation, 601 Pennsylvania Avenue, 
N.W., Suite 540, Washington, D.C. 20004.
 
Sincerely,
Barbara A. Kreisman
Chief, Video Division
