Re: Certificates of Compliance for the Children’s Television Act of 1990
Dear Affiliate:
As of January 1, 1992, the Federal Communications Commission’s rules (“FCC Rules”) implementing the Children’s Television Act of 1990 (“Act”) require cable operators to maintain certain records regarding their compliance with advertising limits imposed on children’s television programming. Accordingly, Turner Network Sales, Inc. provides the attached Turner Entertainment Networks’ certificates of compliance for 1st Quarter 2020. Please note that the Act’s advertising limits are inapplicable to CNN, Headline News, Turner Classic Movies, TNT, TruTV, CNNI, and CNNE as these networks do not carry children’s programming. If there are any changes in the programming policies of these networks, we will provide you with updated certifications reflecting such changes.
To comply with the FCC Rules, please place the attached certificates of compliance in your system’s public file(s) no later than the tenth day of the current quarter following the quarter in which the programming aired.
For your convenience, the certificates of compliance are also available online for your review. Please follow these steps in order to download the certificates:
1. Go to the Turner Resources web site at www.TurnerResources.com. [Note – if you do not have a user ID and password, you will need to register online with the web site.]
2. From the homepage go to “Technical” and scroll down to “Compliance Notices.” You can download the Q1 – 2020 certificates by clicking on Kid Vid Certificates and following the prompts.
If you have any questions, please contact me at (404) 575-9724 or e-mail [email protected]. Thank you for your continued carriage of the Turner networks.
Kindest regards,
