MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER
Adopted:  April 11, 2008 Released:  April 16, 2008
By the Chief, Video Division, Media Bureau:
I.      INTRODUCTION
1. In this Memorandum Opinion and Order, we grant the request of WZTV Licensee, LLC, 
(the “Licensee”), licensee of Station WZTV(TV), Nashville, Tennessee, to cancel the Notice of Apparent 
Liability for Forfeiture (“NAL”) issued against it on September 28, 2007.  The NAL proposed a monetary 
forfeiture in the amount of $15,000 for the Licensee’s apparent failure to comply with the limits on 
commercial matter in children’s programming.1  
II.     BACKGROUND
2. On April 1, 2005, the Licensee filed its license renewal application for Station 
WZTV(TV) (“Application”) (File No. BRCT-20050401BFP).  In its Application, the Licensee reported 
that Station WZTV(TV) exceeded the children’s television commercial limits on four occasions during 
the last license term.  On September 28, 2007, the Bureau released the NAL, finding the Licensee 
apparently liable for a monetary forfeiture in the amount of $15,000 for apparently willfully and 
repeatedly violating Section 73.670 of the Commission’s Rules (the “Rules”)2, by failing to comply with 
the limits on commercial matter in children’s programming.  
3. On October 26, 2007, the Licensee responded to the NAL.3 The Licensee stated that 
upon receiving the NAL and reviewing the matter, it discovered that the program which formed the basis 
for the forfeiture was actually aired on the Licensee’s co-owned station, WUXP-TV, Nashville, 
Tennessee.  The Licensee indicated that a station employee who worked for both WUXP-TV and 
WZTV(TV) mistakenly attributed the program to Station WZTV(TV) when in fact that program was 
aired on WUXP-TV.  The Licensee filed an amendment to its Application to certify that during the 
previous license term, Station WZTV(TV) did comply with the children’s television commercial limits.  
Consequently, the Licensee asserted that any forfeiture should be issued against WUXP-TV, and not 
WZTV(TV). Based on our review of the Licensee’s Response to the NAL, we cancel the NAL.
