...Hundt is soliciting comment on several proposals, including one that would require broadcasters to air at least three hours of quality children's fare each week but would allow them to pay other stations -- presumably PBS stations -- to run two of those three hours. Representative Edward Markey, the Massachusetts Democrat who sponsored the 1990 act, has said that the proposal "completely fails children...
