This may include information on any other non-core educational and informational programming that you aired this quarter or plan to air during the next quarter, or any existing or proposed non-broadcast efforts that will enhance the educational and informational value of such programming to children. See 47 C.F.R. §73.671, NOTES 2 and 3.
Since the fourth quarter of 2003, we began airing Teen Kids News, formerly EyeWitness Kids News Program on Saturday's, 8:30am. This program is geared towards kids 13-16. This program is considered FCC qualified (E-I) Educational, Informational Children's Programming. The mission of Teen Kids News is to produce a weekly news program that will provide information and news to kids in a manner that is compelling as well as highly entertaining. It is designed to appeal to the audience on its own level. The focus of the program is young people, always letting them tell their stories in their own words. The large, diverse news anchor team will be unique in television and have great appeal to kids who will identify and emulate them. This program will serve the audience in a way that will make a real difference in their lives. It will insert the clear voice of the kid into the adult-dominated media and provide a unique perspective to the news that is not currently available on network television. We realize that children need to know that there are many career opportunities available for them in the future, so our anchors and reporters make school appearances to discuss the options of a broadcast career. Our meteorologists also make guest appearances at elementary schools in the area to teach children about the weather and how to be prepared in case of severe weather. We plan to continue this in the upcoming quarter. As part of our station's awareness of the need to read to children, our anchors and reporters make guest appearances in various elementary schools around the area in order to read stories to our youth. In addition to going out into the community, we also invite children to tour our studios to see the inner workings of a TV station/newsroom. We feel this will give them ideas for career opportunities they might want to pursue in the future. Third quarter of 2006 we introduced a new campaign titled "MOVE IT! For Your Health". This initiative is dedicated to educating the public about childhood obesity and its risks. We want to help our citizens eat healthier and inspire the region to make more time for regular physical activity, with a focus on families moving to decrease childhood obesity. The station airs two stories a month, repeating during weekend morning newscasts, focusing on local families and their decision to eat healthy. We plan to continue this in the upcoming quarter. We feel all of the above programs demonstrate our committment to children and enhance the educational and informational value of broadcast and non-broadcast programming to children.
