This refers to your license renewal application for station KFSN-TV, Fresno, CA.
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 August 10, 2006, you filed the above-referenced license renewal application for station 
KFSN-TV.  In response to Section IV, Question 5 of that application, you certify that, during the 
previous license term, station KFSN-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 KFSN-TV exceeded the children’s television commercial 
limits by 15 seconds on October 29, 2000.
It appears from the information before us that the overage in question was a de minimis violation 
of the children’s television commercial limits.  Such violation of Section 73.670 of the 
2
Commission’s Rules does not warrant further consideration in connection with KFSN-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, John W. Zucker, Esquire, KFSN Television, LLC, 77 West 66th Street, 16th Floor, New 
York, NY 10023.
 
Sincerely,
Barbara A. Kreisman
