Childrens programs can have advertisements too. I bet the shutdown is only long to find content and advertisers. It seems like a dumb requirement.

There are a lot of limitations for commercials during kid's programming. Depending on going rates, it might not even be worth it.

I also have it on pretty good authority that those sub channels are gone for good (atleast on the stations in question here).

Re: heh

Given that broadcasting a subchannel is very low cost, I cant see how it would not be worth while,even if you run the childrens programs at a loss.

Re: heh

But if it were worth it to run the children's programming before the requirement in order to earn the advertising revenue, they would have done it. The children's programming requirement can only reduce their incentive to run the sub-channel.

Re: heh

If I were to encounter a programme with E/I on it, it should be commercial free. Why the FCC is allowing commercials to be put in kid's programmes is beyond me.

What a way to get kids today introduced to "ads"

(There misleading anyway)
