A viewer had claimed that the station aired "skewed news, trashy entertainment, inadequate children’s programming and was overly commercial.”
The FCC dismissed the complaint, saying that it was not empowered to take action against "skewed news" even if that were the case, and that the complainant had not made a case for indecency, that he had failed to show how relying on Baby Looney Tunes and Sabrina failed to meet its core educational kids’ show obligations and, as for overly commercial, pointed out that except for kids’ programming, the FCC does not regulate the amount or type of commercial.
