COMMISSIONER MICHAEL J. COPPS COMMENTS 
ON DISCOVERY KIDS’ LICENSING COMMITMENT 
Commissioner Michael J. Copps issued the following statement in response to the 
announcement today by Discovery Kids that the company will license its name and characters 
only in connection with healthy food and beverage products:
“It’s good news that the Discovery Kids brand will be used to promote only nutritious,
wholesome foods.  This is the kind of commitment we hope more media companies will soon 
make.  It will take tough and concerted action by both food and media businesses if we are really 
serious about putting an end to junk food ads aimed at our kids.”
