TUTENSTEIN is a resurrected ten-year-old boy mummy who thinks that he is still King Tut-Ankh-en-Set-Amun, Pharaoh and ruler of the world. Little does he understand that three millennia have passed and everything around him has changed. The show’s educational content includes Egyptology and social-emotional messages. Egyptology is presented through the introduction of historically accurate depictions of myths, legends, demons and gods. In each story Tut and his sidekicks, Cleo and her cat, Luxor, have an adventure where the ancients are resurrected as allies or enemies in a conflict that takes place in modern times. Most of the socio-emotional lessons revolve around learning to plan, being less selfish, and considering the consequences of impulsive behavior. Cleo is usually the voice of reason for Tut, as she is the one who has to problem-solve their way out of each escapade they encounter.

TIME WARP TRIO is about three curious boys – Fred, Sam and Joe – who are transported through time via a mysterious book that is presented to Joe by his magician uncle.

Their search for The Book takes them through extraordinary adventures in which they are introduced to historic people, places and events. The boys run into their great-granddaughters – Freddi, Samantha and Jodie – when they warp into the future and find that Jodie has also inherited The Book from her great-grandfather, Joe. Sometimes, all the kids show up in the same time warp and help each other outsmart their adversaries so they can return home.

TRADING SPACES: BOYS VS. GIRLS is where boys and girls get to show how well they know each other, how effectively they can manage a budget, and how skillfully they can execute a design plan. Each week a boy or girl is given two days and $5000 dollars to complete a renovation of their partner’s “room.” The space might be a bedroom, a recreation room, or a clubhouse; but the “designer” has to first show his or her knowledge of the other person’s preferences, hobbies and lifestyle to come up with a good design. Next, the challenge of balancing the budget and figuring out the renovation process begins. Participants learn measurement, spatial reasoning, and principles of aesthetic design as they go through the experience. In the end, they find out if their knowledge and perception of their partner was on or off base.

FLIGHT 29 DOWN is the name of the small, chartered plane that carries a group of 11 across the South Pacific for an eco-camping class trip to a desert island in Micronesia. Before they can join the rest of their class at the destination, 29 DWN malfunctions and the pilot/camp counselor has to make an emergency crash landing on a remote island somewhere in the South Pacific. With nothing but their camping gear, a limited supply of resources, and each other, the group tries to come to grips with the situation that challenges them with intelligence and instinct. As they confront the false perceptions they have of themselves and one another, the group realizes that they must learn how to live and work together in order to survive. The show carries a powerful social-emotional message that draws upon the complexities of human behavior and social relationships, in which adolescents struggle to define themselves and their roles in a social group, while learning how to work together to deal with the harsh reality that faces them.

Several weeks ago, KSEE24 was delighted to begin offering additional children’s educational programming during core hours as part of its NBC Weather Plus programming on a digital multicast channel. To limit confusion, this programming is described in response to Question 6, although it may also be considered in response to Question 5. Airdate: 02/26/2006 Time: 7:00pm ET/PT Duration: 35:00 "LASTING VALOR" - NBC’S CLOSING CEREMONY COVERAGE OF THE 20TH OLYMPIC WINTER GAMES FROM TORINO, ITALY LASTING VALOR, narrated by Tom Brokaw, tells the seldom-heard story of Lt. Vernon Baker, the only living African-American to receive the Medal of Honor during World War II. It's timely, because the location where Baker led his all-black platoon on a courageous attack against Nazi fortifications was in Northern Italy, not far from the site of the 2006 Winter Games. Only Baker and six of his men survived the battle, but they helped clear the way for the Allies to breach the Gothic Line and capture northern Italy. Because white Southern commanders dismissed their courage and sacrifice, the heroism of Baker and six other black World War II veterans were not acknowledged until 1997. By then, only Baker was still alive to receive the Medal of Honor. KSEE24 airs PSAs targeted to children 16 and under with The More You Know campaign. Topics of these PSAs include: stay in school, substance abuse, anti-drugs, teacher tribute, drunk driving and teen encouragement. This campaign also encourages parents to become even more involved with their kids and offers specific suggestions, such as taking time to talk with them or spend more time together. This part of the campaign was developed in response to studies which conclude that children who have strong emotional attachments to their parents are less likely to use drugs and alcohol, engage in violence or become sexually active at an early age. These PSAs air approximately 30 times per month. THE MORE YOU KNOW WEBSITE "The More You Know's" newly-designed, comprehensive website (NBC.com/tmyk) compliments the on-air public service announcements, while providing in-depth referral information for viewers. Content includes: video of all current public service announcements, a general campaign overview, press releases, kids’ pages and referral information by topic to partnering agencies referenced in the PSAs. The site includes a comprehensive list of the campaign's accolades, including Emmy and Peabody awards. In addition, a behind-the-scenes story with clips from talent interviews can be viewed.
