		Due to NBC's coverage of the Presidential Inauguration on Saturday, January 20, all children's programming was pre-empted. See public file for public service announcements designed specifically for children. To supplement and enhance the educational value of the network's "Teen NBC" programs, NBC has a web site (www.nbc.com/tnbc) specifically dedicated to teens. This site was recently re-launched with a new design. The goals of this site are first, to create a platform for the teen community where opportunties for self-expressions become the core of the interactive experience; second to build these communities wherever possible around the themes and ideas generated within the TNBC shows themselves; and third, to provide online resources of information and guidance around the issues that most effect teens' lives. Features of the web site include information on the upcoming episodes of each of the TNBC shows, as well as information about the shows and their cast members. A free TNBC email service is provided to teens to foster community and communication. There is a prominent link to the Snap.com "Teen Zone" which includes polls, message boards and features on subjects such as relationships, family, advice columns, dating, drugs and alcohol, entertainment and other teen sites on the web. There are chat rooms for teens, hosted by Talk City, and there are links to web page building and hosting services.
