Description of Program
The combination of the first seasons of Animal Atlas into the "Animal Atlas Classics" series has culled the best instructional elements from the series without sacrificing the entertainment value for the 13-16 year-old target market. The Classic collection maintains the series' connection with educational standards consistent with nationally published curriculum goals in the natural sciences, and meets the challenge of engaging the curiosity of the target age range without pandering and without filtering information. The program is regularly scheduled. The program is 30 minutes in length, and is identified as an educational and informational show, targeted to teens (13-16 year olds), at the beginning of each broadcast and in listings provided to publishers or program guides. "Animal Atlas Classics" aired 11 times in the same time period during the third quarter of 2007, however the program does air at 5:00am, therefore it does not qualify as "core" programming.

Description of Program
"Saved by the Bell" is a weekly television series targeted to teens 13-16 years of age, which explores social themes and coping strategies through the daily school life of six teen-aged friends at Bayside High who help each other make the most of growing up in a complicated world. The multi-ethnic cast members serve as role models for young teen viewers as they deal with such issues as the death of a loved one, the right to say "no," the meaning of heroism, teenage alcohol use and other issues of particular concern to young teens. Saved by the Bell aired twice in the same 5am time period for third quarter 2007, therefore it does not meet the FCC's requirement of a "Core" program.

"Beakman's World" furthers the educational, information needs of children aged 13 - 16. The entire series deals with science and the task of making science accessible and understandable. It offers scientific content, scientific theories, the vocabulary and facts of science and the processes of scientific thinking. The scientific content of Beakman's World overlaps with a significant number of the standards for science education that are prevalent in the curricula of today's schools. For example, children in the target age group of 13 to 16 years of age will be in grades 7 through 10. In these grades, experts in both science education and the developmental needs of the age group have recommended that these children can and need to focus their learning on the physical sciences and the life sciences along with learning the processes of investigation and experimentation. In the physical science area for instance, Beakman both discussed and demonstrated the concepts of density and displacement with an experiment explaining why a steel boat floats while a steel bar sinks. In the life science area, Beakman explained the concept of migration and illustrated it with video of migrating birds, butterflies, caribou, salmon and grey whales. Throughout the series, Beakman conducts replicable experiments to illustrate the processes of investigation and experimentation. The program is 30 minutes in length and is identified as an educational and informational show, targeted to teens (13-16 years old) at the beginning of each broadcast and in listings provided to publishers of program guide.
