KOZL-TV aired 124 kid-targeted PSAs between 7a and 10p this quarter. The PSAs discovered topics such as baby teeth, Cub Scouts,
writing, bully hotline, drug-free tweens, lightning safety, teen
stress, wildfires, and more. NOTE: Station checked "yes" on question
7C, because the form forces an answer of "yes" or "no." 7C should be
just for stations that answered "yes" on 7B, and the answer for 7B for
KOZL-TV is "no." KOZL-TV does not broadcast an analog signal. Note: This report includes a show ("This Week in Baseball") that is network, even though the station designation at the top of the form is Independent. KOZL-TV became an independent station on 9/1/11, but prior to that, was a FOX affiliate (under the call letters KSFX-TV).
