FCC petition on children's TV ads tests network code
ACT led by Peggy Charren seeks action on advertising during kids programs. FCC deliberations loom after hearings and mass citizen letters. NAB trimmed nonprogram content on Saturday mornings and evenings to 10 and 9.5 minutes respectively while keeping weekday limits at 14 and 12 minutes. Networks warn that without ads they cannot fund quality shows costing 40 000 to 60 000 per half hour. Charren calls the situation balderdash and insists children remain proper ad targets.
