Media Bureau Makes 2020 Children’s TV Report Available in LMS

The FCC recently made its 2020 Children’s Television Report (formerly Form 398; now Form 2100, Schedule H) available and accessible in LMS for full power commercial and Class A television stations.  Previously, this report had to be filed quarterly but the FCC changed it to an annual filing requirement at the end of 2019.  However, once stations had submitted their 2019 report, the form was unavailable for stations to load or complete in LMS.

With a short public notice, the FCC announced that the form covering 2020 had been added to LMS accounts so that it can be worked on and saved by a station throughout the year.  However, the earliest the form will be enabled for filing is January 1, 2021.  The deadline to file the 2020 Children’s Television Report is January 30, 2021.
