From: KathyB-LanesboroPL To: A16.A16(kidstv) Date: 10/14/95 4:52pm Subject: Children's Programming To Whom It May Concern: My name is Kathy Buzza and I am the director of the Lanesboro Public Library, 202 Parkway South, Lanesboro, MN 55949 (507)467-2649. I am interested in commenting on MM Docket No. 93-48, regarding the quality of children's programming on television. Television is a seductive medium, and to help educate AND entertain children who are already spending a significant portion of their day in front of a television set, I believe specific guidelines should be adopted for children's programming. Networks should provide one hour of "core" educational programming daily, with quality core programming specificallydesigned to educate and inform children with programs at least 30 minutes in length. These programs should be regularly scheduled programs on daily, rather than "after school specials" that are on infrequently, and they should air between 7 a.m. and 8 p.m.. I am concerned as a parent and a librarian that we need more tie-in programs with books, such as the popular Reading Rainbow programs and Magic Schoolbus programs, and I would like to see more literature- based family programming in the evening, such as the Wonderworks programs developed by PBS. I do feel with $37 billion in free access to the airwaves that broadcasters should be required to provide quality children's programming. Thank you for giving me this opportunity to respond!
