    FCC host-selling violation fine

    The FCC fined KATV $8,000 for airing a commercial for Doug's 1st Movie during an ABC broadcast of Disney's Doug. Regulators determined that using characters from the children's program in the advertisement violated the Children's Television Act's host-selling rules. KATV argued that the placement resulted from a last-minute ABC insertion order, but its appeal was rejected in 2010.
