Children’s Programming on WWNY-7News and WNYF Fox-28

Congress enacted the Children’s Television Act in 1990 to enhance television’s potential to teach the nation’s children valuable information and skills. The Act requires each television station in the U.S. to serve the educational and informational needs of children through its overall programming, including programming specifically designed to serve these needs (or “core” educational programming). In August 1996, the FCC adopted new rules to strengthen the enforcement of this statutory mandate.

Information about WWNY & WNYF’s compliance with these rules are part of it’s Public File, which can be inspected at 120 Arcade Street, Watertown, NY 13601 during normal business hours.
