Source - A&M Chapter of the American Meteorological Society FCC Chairman wants to toughen rules on educational programming WASHINGTON (AP) — Calling TV “the third parent” in many homes, the nation’s top broadcast regulator is pushing an innovative plan to make stations air a minimum amount of educational pro gramming for children. If the plan is adopted, the government would for the first time order stations to provide a certain number of hours of such shows. Broadcasters could choose to pay other stations to produce and air the programs. The plan, opposed by the TV industry and at least two of the five commissioners, will be un veiled by Federal Communica tions Commission Chairman Reed Hundt at the agency’s meeting Wednesday. Hundt failed to persuade his fellow commissioners to con sider only his plan and it is ex pected to be included in a group of less restrictive pro posals, including having the FCC do nothing. “The TV is the third parent in most households,” Hundt said. People involved in the process say stations initially would have to air three hours a week of educational program ming, increasing a half hour each year to a maximum of five hours. Cable television would not be affected. Here’s how it would work: A station would have to air a min imum amount — one hour a week — itself. Then it could make a deal with another sta tion, commercial or public, to broadcast the remaining re quired hours, Hundt explained. The FCC would leave the terms of such agreements to the stations. “We’re trying to privatize the system,” Hundt said. So parents would know where to find the educational shows, the station trading its program ming obligations would be re sponsible for promoting them. “What’s important to the parent is getting a quantity of this programming and knowing where to find it,” Hundt said. “I’m just worried it won’t work,” said Kathryn Mont gomery, president of the Center for Media Education. “It’s kind of • wishful thinking that stations would want to take this on.” Montgomery said she doubt ed a station could pay another enough money to produce a quality educational children’s program. Commissioners Andrew Bar rett and James Quello are op posed to the scheme, saying it treads on broadcasters’ First Amendment rights. Commis sioners Rachelle Chong and Su san Ness, who have expressed concerns, are undecided.
