This series tells the story of two young kids (Jason and Michelle) and four out-of-this-world penguins, as they explore the galaxy -- and learn important life lessons and values along the way. Jason is not looking forward to spending a whole summer at Grandmums cottage. He would rather be back home -- playing with his friends, going to space camp, or buying comic books at the corner store. But when an old spaceship toy and a handful of penguin figurines come to life, the kids have more wild adventures than they ever thought possible! 3-2-1 Penguins! uses colorful characters, fun stories and music, and cutting-edge animation to teach kids these important life lessons.

Starting on August 30, 2008, WVLA(TV) interrupted regularly scheduled programming to broadcast Hurricane Gustav emergency programming until power failure forced the station off the air on September 1. WVLA(TV) resumed operation on September 4, 2008 and continued broadcasting Hurricane Gustav coverage through September 6, 2008.

After due review of station records and documentation to us by program suppliers, the licensee hereby certifies that the station has fully complied with the FCCs commercial limits in childrens programs, as specified at 47 C.F.R.
