For Immediate Release

STATEMENT OF COMMISSIONER MICHAEL O’RIELLY ON 
REPORT AND ORDER REVISING CHILDREN’S TELEVISION RULES

WASHINGTON, June 18, 2019.  “I am pleased that a Report and Order revising the Commission’s Children’s Television Programming Rules, better known as Kid Vid, will be considered at the July Opening Meeting.  It’s been a long and arduous process to get to this point, and I have spent many hours working with interested parties to find an acceptable outcome.  To those concerned about kids losing access to existing programming, the item provides modest reforms.  At the same time, we rightfully inject thoughtful and needed flexibility to allow America’s broadcasters to respond to the modern media marketplace.  While there may a strong case for even further reforms, this item reflects sound and defensible policymaking, and I look forward to its adoption in the coming weeks.”
