If you should have any questions, please feel free to contact our Affiliate Sales & Marketing Department at (201) 520-6410. Sincerely, THE MLB NETWORK LLC By: Name: Erick VanTuyl “ Title: Senior Vice President, Business & Legal Affairs COMMERCIAL TIME – CHILDREN’S PROGRAMMING VIACOM MEDIA NETWORKS CERTIFICATION: 3rd Quarter 2017 The following certification is provided regarding compliance during the period of July 1, 2017 to September 30, 2017 (the “Current Quarter”) with the commercial time limitations set forth in the FCC’s April 12, 1991 Report and Order Implementing the Children’s Television Act of 1990 (the “Act”) and the rules adopted therein. NICKELODEON aired children’s programming during the Current Quarter to the extent indicated by the attached program schedules. The children’s programming NICKELODEON aired during the Current Quarter contained commercial matter in an amount that was not more than 12 minutes per hour on weekdays and 10.5 minutes per hour on weekends. NICKELODEON accordingly certifies that it is in compliance for the Current Quarter with the limitations set forth in the Act and FCC rules. However, on August 7, 2017, NICKELODEON aired multiple promotions that displayed an internet address that directed viewers to webpages which inadvertently included advertisements for a temporary period. The display of such internet addresses may have caused the aforementioned on-air promotions to qualify as commercial matter, thereby causing the commercial matter to exceed the time limitations set forth in the Act and FCC rules by approximately 117 seconds in the aggregate on August 7, 2017. As soon as such issue was discovered, it was remedied by removing such advertisements from the applicable webpages, and NICKELODEON promptly reviewed its process to ensure that the error would not reoccur. Additionally, on September 27, 2017, during an approximately 23-minute episode of a program entitled Paw Patrol (the “Program”), NICKELODEON inadvertently aired a commercial that contained images of a product related to the Program, which may have caused such episode to qualify as a “program-length commercial”, thereby causing the commercial matter to exceed the time limitations set forth in the Act and the FCC rules. As soon as the issue was discovered, it was remedied and NICKELODEON promptly reviewed its policies and practices to ensure that the error would not reoccur. NICK JR., TEENNICK, NICKTOONS and NICK AT NITE aired children’s programming during the Current Quarter as indicated by the attached program schedules for those services, but to the extent these services carried commercials, the amount of commercial matter was within the time limitations set forth in the Act. However, on September 29, 2017, during an approximately 23- minute episode of the Program, NICK JR. inadvertently aired a commercial that contained images of a product related to the Program, which may have caused such episode to qualify as a “program-length commercial”, thereby causing the commercial matter to exceed the time limitations set forth in the Act and the FCC rules. As soon as the issue was discovered, it was remedied and NICK JR. 1 CDM #9880 promptly reviewed its policies and practices to ensure that the error would not reoccur. Program services MTV, MTVU, MTV2, MTV LIVE, MTV CLASSIC, VH1, LOGO, CMT, CMT MUSIC, COMEDY CENTRAL, TR3S, SPIKE TV, TV LAND, BET SOUL, BET JAMS, BET, BET HIP HOP, BET GOSPEL, CENTRIC (renamed BET HER as of September 25, 2017) and NICK MUSIC did not air any children’s programming subject to the requirements of the Act during the Current Quarter.
