  • Educational Programming Requirements: Broadcasters must provide programming specifically designed to meet the educational and informational needs of children 16 years of age and under. In later rulings enforcing the Act, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) established a benchmark of at least three hours per week of "core" children's programming. [1]
  • Advertising Limits: To protect children from excessive commercialism, the Act restricts advertising to 12 minutes per hour on weekdays and 10.5 minutes per hour on weekends for programming aimed at children 12 and under. [1]
  • Host-Selling Bans: The FCC prohibits the practice of "host selling," where a character from a children's show is used to advertise products during that same program. [1, 2]
They just made it far less profitable and more difficult to produce. Also why sat morning died

It's my understanding the hour requirements for edutainment were the biggest killer - stations didn't any hours left for 'for-profit' kids shows.

Especially when most consumers had basic cable with a ton of kid networks (Disney, Nickelodeon, etc.) by that point.
