Fcc And Kids Tv

NPR's Brooke Gladstone reports on the historic end to a long political struggle over children's television programming. The Federal Communications Commission has approved guidelines that will require broadcasters to air three-hours each week of 'high-quality' educational programming. The new rules -- and last week's commitment by television broadcasters to accept them -- target television that kids might see between the hours of 7 and 10 in the morning.
