Commercial TV stations are required to file with the FCC annual reports identifying the station’s core programs and other efforts to comply with their educational programming obligations. These reports – Children’s Television Programming Reports (FCC Form 2100 Schedule H) – must be available to the public.
The reports can be obtained from the station’s online public inspection file at publicfiles.fcc.gov or from the FCC’s Children’s Educational Television Reporting page. Also, commercial TV broadcasters, cable operators, and satellite providers must maintain records to verify compliance with commercial time limits and make these records available for public inspection.
