Children's Educational Television (KidVid)
Pursuant to 47 C.F.R. Section 73.3526(e)(11)(iii), each commercial television broadcast licensee must prepare a Children's Television Programming Report for each calendar quarter reflecting efforts made by the licensee during the quarter, as well as efforts planned for the next quarter, to serve the educational and informational needs of children. The licensee must place a copy of each quarterly report in its station's public inspection file by the tenth day of the succeeding calendar quarter (i.e., by April 10 for the first quarterly report; by July 10 for the second quarterly report; by October 10 for the third quarterly report; and by January 10 for the fourth quarterly report). The signed original of each report should be retained in the station's non-public files, and a copy placed in the public inspection file. The reports must be separated from other material in the public inspection file, and the licensee must publicize in an appropriate manner the existence and location of these reports. September 24, 2007: To improve performance, the FCC has moved the KidVid system to a newer server. Please let us know if you encounter any system problems. Also, in some instances, old saved files containing a previous quarter's Form 398 may need to be adjusted. More information about this will be forthcoming soon. March 20, 2007: Children’s Television Obligations of Commercial Television Broadcasters –Postponement of the Filing Window for Revised FCC Form 398 for the First Quarter of 2007
Under the Commission’s rules, the window for electronic filing of FCC Form 398 for the first quarter
of 2007 is April 1 through April 10, 2007. Because of the conversion of the FCC’s children’s television database system to an upgraded J2EE technology that
will facilitate public access to and better support implementation of the revised electronic Form 398,
the Media Bureau hereby postpones the deadline for filing the revised Form 398 for the first quarter of 2007. T
he new filing window for FCC Form 398 for the first quarter of 2007 will be June 1 through June 10, 2007.
This new window will apply both to electronic filing with the Commission as well as placement of the report in the station’s
public inspection file. The Media Bureau expects to have the revised electronic version of Form 398 available on its website
by May 15, 2007.
