The FCC Media Bureau admonished two Florida TV stations applying for renewal for violating the commission’s children’s TV rules against host selling, according to letters filed Tuesday. Both WKCF Clermont (http://bit.ly/LMnMN2) and WTOG(TV) St. Petersburg (http://bit.ly/LMnVQS) violated the rules during a CW network broadcast of the kids’ show Xiaolin Showdown, when a cereal commercial aired that used characters from the show. “The fact that the commercial was inserted into the program by the Station’s television network does not relieve the Licensee of responsibility for the violation,” said the letters. The stations were punished only with admonishments because of the isolated nature of the incident, the bureau said.
