Needs and Uses: Commercial

A television broadcast stations are both 

required to file FCC Form 398. FCC 

Form 398 is a standardized form that: 

(a) Provides a consistent format for 

reporting by all licensees, and 

(b) Facilitates efforts by the public 

and the FCC to monitor compliance 

with the Children’s Television Act. 

These commercial television 

broadcast station licensees and the Class 

A television broadcast station licensees 

both use FCC Form 398: 

(a) To identify the individual station, 

and 

(b) To identify the children’s 

educational and informational 

programs, which the station broadcasts 

on both the regularly scheduled and 

preempted core programming, to meet 

the station’s obligation under the 

Children’s Television Act of 1990 

(CTA). 

Each quarter, the licensee is required 

to place in its public inspection file a 

‘‘Children’s Television Programming 

Report’’ and to file the FCC Form 398 

each quarter with the Commission. The 

licensee must also complete a 

‘‘Preemption Report’’ for each 

preempted core program during the 

quarter. This ‘‘Preemption Report’’ 

requests information on the date of each 

preemption, if the program was 

rescheduled, the date and time the 

program was aired, and the reason for 

the preemption.
