  • Rules, we find that Clear Channel Broadcasting Licenses, Inc. (the ``Licensee''), licensee of Station KASN(TV), Pine Bluff, Arkansas (the ``Station''), apparently willfully and repeatedly violated Section 73.3526(e)(11)(ii) of the Rules, by failing to place in the Station's public inspection file all required records concerning its compliance with the children's programming commercial limits. We also find the Licensee apparently violated Section 73.670 of the Rules, by failing to comply with the limits on commercial matter in children's programming. Based upon our review of the facts and circumstances before us, we conclude that the Licensee is apparently liable for a monetary forfeiture in the amount of twelve thousand dollars ($12,000) for its violations of Sections 73.3526(e)(11)(ii) and 73.670 of the Rules.
