Needs and Uses: Commercial fullpower and Class A television broadcast 

stations are required to file the 

Children’s Television Programming 

Report, FCC Form 398 each calendar 

quarter. FCC Form 398 is a standardized 

form that provides a consistent format 

for reporting the children’s educational 

television programming aired by 

licensees to meet their obligation under 

the Children’s Television Act of 1990 

(CTA) and facilitates efforts by the 

public and the FCC to monitor 

compliance with the CTA. 

Commercial full-power and Class A 

television stations are required to 

complete FCC Form 398 each calendar 

quarter and to place the form in the 

station’s public inspection file. Stations 

must also file the form each quarter with 

the Commission. Stations use FCC Form 

398 to report, among other things, the 

core children’s educational and 

informational programs the station aired 

the previous calendar quarter and the 

core programs they plan to air in the 

upcoming calendar quarter. FCC Form 

398 also includes a ‘‘Preemption 

Report’’ that must be completed for each 

core program that was preempted 

during the quarter. This ‘‘Preemption 

Report’’ requests information on the 

date of each preemption, the reason for 

the preemption and, if the program was 

rescheduled, the date and time the 

program was re-aired.
