  • failed to operate WAOM(TV) in compliance with a number of Commission rules. For the reasons set forth below, we conclude that B&C willfully and repeatedly violated Section 73.1125 of the Commission's rules by not maintaining a main studio for WAOM(TV), Section 73.3527 of the rules by not maintaining its local public inspection file at the station's main studio, and Section 73.1201 by failing to regularly broadcast station identification announcements.

We further note that under longstanding Commission rules, stations must make station identification and sponsorship announcements. See 47 C.F.R. 73.1201, 73.1212. b. Program Guides Television stations currently submit programming information to programming guides, which publish such information without cost to the broadcasters. See 60 supra.

We further found that the licensee had apparently violated the station identification rule, Section 73.1201 of the Commission's Rules, with respect to Station KEOJ(FM), by inserting impermissible information between its call letters and community of license during a "top-of-the hour" station identification.

Along with these alleged children's television commercial limits violations, Hess asserted that, for several months in 1995, station WDBD(TV) failed to air a legal station identification on Saturday mornings because the identifications that aired during that period did not mention the city of license either aurally or visually as required by 47 C.F.R. � 73.1201(a). In response, you state that, based on station WDBD(TV)'s spot-check of its logs for 1995, the station identification announcements aired on an appropriate schedule, although station WDBD(TV) has no records which would indicate whether the required city and state of license were included in the station identification announcements.
