This  xis a very high number of violations. Further, 72 of the overages were one minute or longer in  xduration, and 44 of those were two minutes or longer in duration. Overages of this number and  xduration mean that children have been subjected to commercial matter greatly in excess of the limits contemplated by Congress when it enacted the Children's Television Act of 1990.   xIn addition, the only explanation for the violations offered by the licensee is the assertion  x[that WJYS(TV) "lacked a computer network and reliable traffic and accounting systems" when  xit operated as a "Home Shopping Network play back facility". However, according to the"|8,))qq"  x licensee's explanation, the station changed its format from home shopping to conventional  x<programming sometime in 1995. The period of frequent and continuous violations began on May  X- x[28, 1996, at least six months after the station made the transition to conventional programming.  xFurther, the period of frequent and continuous violations continued for nine months, and,  xaccording to the licensee's own explanation, was discovered only because station personnel began  xpreparation of WJYS(TV)'s license renewal application. Thus, it is apparent that the licensee not  xonly failed to establish any program for compliance with the children's television commercial  xjlimits, but also failed to notice or rectify the deficiency for an extended period of time. The fact  xZthat WJYS(TV) may have eventually implemented policies and procedures to prevent subsequent  xviolations of the Commission's children's television rules does not relieve the licensee of liability  X - xfor violations which have occurred. International Broadcasting Corp., 19 FCC 2d 793, 794  X - x?(1969); KBHKTV, supra 10 FCC Rcd at 10988; KEVN, Inc., 8 FCC Rcd 5077, 5078 (1993);  X - xR&R Media Corporation (WTWS(TV)), 9 FCC Rcd 1715, 1716 (1994); Mountain States  X - xMBroadcasting, Inc. (KMSBTV), 9 FCC Rcd 2545, 2546 (1994); WHP Television, L.P., 10 FCC  xRcd 4979, 4980 (1995). Consideration of all of these factors warrants a forfeiture in the above X - xspecified amount of $20,000. Cf., JeffersonPilot Communications Company (WBTV(TV)), 12  X- x.FCC Rcd 2526 (1997)($20,000 forfeiture for 79 commercial overages); WTWS(TV), supra 9 FCC Rcd at 1715 ($20,000 forfeiture for 80 commercial overages).   xYou are afforded a period of thirty (30) days from the date of this letter "to show, in  xkwriting, why a forfeiture penalty should not be imposed or should be reduced, or to pay the  x=forfeiture. Any showing as to why the forfeiture should not be imposed or should be reduced shall include a detailed factual statement and such documentation and affidavits as may be pertinent." Section 1.80(f)(3) of the Commission's Rules,  x=47 C.F.R. 1.80(f)(3). Other relevant provisions of Section 1.80(f)(3) of the Commission's Rules are summarized in the attachment to this letter.   {xNotwithstanding the substantial nature of the violations described here and the severity  xwith which we regard them, we find you qualified to remain a Commission licensee and conclude  xthat grant of your application would serve the public interest, convenience and necessity.  xAccordingly, the application of Jovon Broadcasting Corporation, for renewal of license for Station WJYS(TV), Hammond, IN (BRCT970401KS), is hereby GRANTED. x` `  hh@FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION x` `  hh@Roy J.
