FCC May Fine Stations For Violating Children's Ad Rules

The Federal Communications Commission proposed fining two TV stations a total of $16,000 (the baseline $8,000 apiece) for violating its children's TV advertising rules. Both stations, KSTW-TV Tacomah (WA), and KBCW-TV San Francisco, volunteered their ad overages to the FCC as part of their requests for license renewals, which the FCC has yet to act on, though it has had the applications for over two years in each case.
