    Appendix C-1 Selected Network - Affiliate Preemption Issues KFOX-TV, El Paso/Las Cruces, Texas, Fox Affiliate · Until recent years, the Station was able to preempt what it considered “lower standard programming” during sweeps and replace it with quality programming of interest to local viewers. · Station also, until recently, was able to reschedule sports of little interest to the Texas market (such as ice skating and skiing) and run programs to which the station had previous commitments before Fox decided to expand its sports programming. · Station has declined commitments to local college sports because carrying the games would cause the station to exceed its allocated preemptions. · Station has wanted to air programs of local interest, such as specials during prime time on issues such as Y2k border security, but was denied permission for the preemptions by the network. KIRO-TV, Seattle, Washington, CBS Affiliate · Station reports that the network has become much less flexible regarding make-goods for prime time preemptions. Through 2000, when KIRO-TV preempted any network prime program for a Mariners game or a local news special, KIRO had the option of making those preempted network shows good either in late night or sometime the following weekend. For example on Thursday, June 22, 2000, KIRO aired a 7-10 p.m. Mariners game and made good the two preempted episodes of Diagnosis Murder the following Saturday at 3-4 p.m. and Sunday at 4-5 p.m.. As of 2001, the Station no longer has this extended delay option. When network prime time is preempted locally, the network pressures the Station for make goods the same day in late night.

To leverage this investment, Seattle has focused on developing planning policies to set the stage for transit-oriented development (TOD) across the city.

How can the City play a meaningful TOD near stations can create important community, environmental, and role in making TOD happen in a economic benefits by providing new job and housing opportunities; efficient equitable way? land use; and lower energy consumption, particularly in underserved areas.

    Quarter 2, 2020 TRANSIT-ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT Quarterly Status Report Cedar Crossing project at the future Roosevelt Station, which began construction in May 2020. Overview RCW 81.112.350 requires Sound Transit to provide quarterly updates on implementation of a regional equitable transit oriented development (TOD) strategy. The TOD program is empowered by the voter‐ approved plan to create diverse, vibrant and mixed‐income communities around transit. To achieve these outcomes, Sound Transit offers its surplus properties—those acquired for building and operating the transit system but no longer provide a transit use to the agency—as development opportunities for affordable housing or other developments benefiting the public. TABLE OF CONTENTS Highlights TOD program development TOD program implementation Transfers of Surplus Property Looking Ahead TOD Quarterly Status Report | Page 1 SOUND TRANSIT’S OFFICE OF LAND USE PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT | TOD Highlights Construction began on the Cedar Crossing project at Roosevelt Station.
