In
accordance with the 1990 Children's Television Act (CTA) intended to
increase the amount of educational and informational programming for
children on television, "Eco Company" clearly meets the goals of
providing children and young teens with a television show that meets
CORE requirements of the FCC as follows: 1) Eco Company provides CORE
programming in the area of the environment and preservation of the
earth's resources. Eco Company explores all aspects of being green and
understanding how our actions impact the world. The Eco team find out
about global warming by asking questions to discover the truths and
myths of the global warming issue. They learn about alternative energies
by visiting wind farms and solar installations and discovering new
energy technologies currently under development. They learn more about
recycling, conservation and organics. The E-Team profiles teens and
school organizations who have taken it upon themselves to make a
difference, young entrepreneurs who are taking their passion for green
to develop ideas, and new products, for a sustainable future. Most
importantly, each story and each feature is reported by teens and told
from their perspective. Additionally, each week the show will provide
practical tips that teens, and people of all ages, can use in their
daily lives. 2) Eco Company uses the technique of peer reporting. The
diverse and dynamic cast of teens who make up Eco Company combine their
natural curiosity with their enthusiasm to report the informational
stories to teens and their families. Each episode employs Eco Company or
hosts who conduct interviews of peers and adults, and experience first
hand the demonstration and explanation of the topic. 3) An Eco Company
website that can easily be accessed by parents providing a clear
description of the program and types of topics covered. It will also
provide a listing of the days and times shows are aired on broadcasting
stations throughout the USA. Advanced notice of programming will also be
available to parents and consumers on the website.

The
"Travelling Trio" is an adventure-filled educational series presented
by three siblings who traverse the globe while exploring, learning and
teaching viewers about our amazing world and all it has to offer.
EDUCATIONAL/INFORMATIONAL OBJECTIVE: The Travelling Trio provides CORE
programming in the areas of geography, history, foreign language, social
studies and cultural awareness. The show meets these objectives by
presenting the location of the country with animated maps to show the
current flag and surrounding countries; showing the hosts as they visit
foreign countries; teaching about the culture and history of each
location; making contact with local children and adults in each
location; presenting foreign language as an obtainable skill through
simple language lessons that are delivered by the hosts with the help of
several children from the featured country and showing that children
around the world are just like the hosts and viewers. All children play,
learn and make friends due to their natural propensity to be
inquisitive; peer mentoring--youthful interaction makes kids feel more
comfortable and allows the learning process to have a greater impact. In
each episode, Olivia, Ingram and Everett begin with a geography lesson
that includes the location of the destination, the flag, the language
and the bordering countries. Basic historical facts are presented in a
clear, easy-to understand manner as the hosts move from location to
location. In every episode, the hosts interact with each other as well
as merchants and children from the destination country. Olivia, Ingram
and Everett also conduct interviews with children and adults who are
working for positive social change in their community (whenever
possible), especially in regard to education and child welfare. In
concluding the episodes, the hosts, with the help of some of their new
friends, present a simple language lesson that teaches common phrases
from the destination. This rudimentary tutorial is intended to spark an
interest in foreign language by presenting it as an obtainable skill.

The
"Ariel, Zoey and Eli Too" series is a children's informational show,
hosted by three siblings, twin girls, Ariel and Zoey, and their younger
brother Eli. As hosts, these children entertain and inform their
audience through song, dance, music and dialogue. Boys and girls between
the ages of 13-16 years of age will be interested in watching each
episode to learn something new and pertinent to adolescent life,
including following dreams and setting goals. In one episode, the young
hosts interview the CEO of Domino's Pizza as well as a federal court
judge. The questions asked during these interviews are insightful and
inform adolescents about educational choices when thinking of future
careers. The importance of volunteering is discussed in a way that will
inspire teenagers to make positive choices in giving back to their
communities. Judge Damon Jerome Keith points out that listening to and
respecting your parents, staying in school, remaining positive and
finding out what makes you happy are all imperative in building a
successful life. Additionally, patriotism is depicted through songs of
our Armed Services. Character education is an integral part of academic
education, as well as family life. This show supports and encourages
respect for others, having integrity, following directions, putting
forth best effort and taking responsibility, which is a wonderful
message for American youth. Ariel, Zoey and Eli Too is an upbeat, fun,
divers and entertaining children's series that will inform young people
on a variety of subjects, while keeping their interest. Although it is a
show that young people will be drawn to on their own, parents can watch
it with their children and use it as a discussion platform for many
important subjects.
