?WINX CLUB? utilizes fairy castles, magical caverns and timeless villages as a backdrop for coming-of-age lessons, group problem-solving, cooperative investigations and the important social and emotional learning opportunities that children need to develop the valuable emotional competencies of resilience, empathy and self-confidence. In each episode, as a conflict arises, the fairies pool their unique capabilities to find a solution comprised of the sum total of their special talents. Life scenarios that commonly worry children, from feeling vulnerable and powerless to being lost or separated from loved ones, are enacted throughout the series and a variety of practical behavioral solutions are presented. ?WINX CLUB? promotes the development of social skills, with actions such as speaking kindly to others, doing good for one?s community, and managing anger appropriately, integrated into the show?s humor. These social competencies are now considered legitimate and necessary objectives of school curricula. The program is regularly scheduled and airs between the hours of 7:00am and 10:00 pm. The program is 30 minutes in length, and is identified as an educational and informational show, targeted to 6 - 11 year olds, at the beginning and through each broadcast and in listings provided to publishers of program guides.

The primary goal of the Liberty's Kids TV series is to provide 7-12 year olds with a fresh and exciting experience of the extraordinary period of 1773 to 1789 in American history.
Through the eyes of two young apprentice reporters named Sarah and James, viewers of Liberty's Kids will go on adventures in search of the real stories of the American Revolution. Sarah is a proper British girl right off the ship from England and James, a fifteen-year-old apprentice, sees things from a cocky colonist's perspective. They meet famous historical figures such as George Washington, plus other figures that should be, like Phillis Wheatley - a published poet while still enslaved. Although the setting is Colonial America, Liberty's Kids' characters find themselves in the middle of a revolution that confronts issues that still fill the newspapers today - gun control, downsizing government, lower taxes, freedom of the press, and race relations.
Sarah and James are followed around by eight-year-old Henri, a spirited immigrant from France. Moses, a former slave who freed himself, watches over them for his employer, the remarkable Benjamin Franklin, with whom we travel to Europe as he fights for recognition and assistance for the young nation.
The entire show is produced using high quality animation and creates an exciting world that today's kids can jump into and discover the real stories of the incredible time that gave birth to the United States of America. Liberty's Kids offers caretakers, from parents to teachers, an extraordinary resource through which they can share with young people the inspiring stories, characters, and values at the heart of America's great experiment in democracy. This program is on both analog and digital channel.
