When the fcc is going to change the rules of e/i programming for children?

Law would be more effective if it applied to channels kids actually watched

I'm still trying to figure out how Disney's "Zac & Cody" and "Hannah Montana" managed to get e/i stamps for so long when they were airing on ABC.

Maybe they had basic math lessons in between the laugh tracks that I missed as I hurriedly flipped passed them so my brain wouldn't melt.

I don't think the sub-channels should have e/i requirements.

I don't think so either

They don't I don't see them on Me-TV KSAT HD-2 nor on the Create Channel.

Correction-  Childrens Television Act of 1990.  And it requires all digital channels to broadcast a certain amount of hours of E/I Programming.

Since digital television didn't exist in 1990 (the FCC was still looking at analog HD transmission systems at that time), I doubt that the Children's Television Act specifically addressed digital subchannels.  Applying the 3 hours/week mandate to digital subchannels was an interpretation on the part of the FCC, and it went into play probably 15 years after the Act was originally passed.
