Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. Poppy Cat is based on the book series by Lara Jones and uses embedded lessons on imagination and storytelling to encourage creating thinking for preschool children. In each story the narrator, Lara reads a story about Poppy Cat, to her own cat named Poppy. She makes up a story that will be exciting and just follows her imagination to distant lands reached by boat, plane or train. Poppy Cat is the leader of his group of animal friends, and the story always features an underlying message about being nice to yet ignoring the antics of the resident bully, a badger named Egbert. The lesson is always to think creatively and exercise your mind through reading because it will always lead to enjoyment and adventure.

Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. "Astroblast!" follows the adventures of a crew of space animals who run the Astroblast Space Station - the coolest hangout in the galaxy. The team of animals who run it are the best of friends - Comet, Halley, Sputnik, Radar and Jet - all under the watchful eye of Sal the Octopus. But when you stick five friends with very different personalities in one place - things are bound to get messy. Through it all, the "Astroblast!" crew accept their differences, help one another, make new friends, and discover that getting along is always out of this world. Every day brings a new adventure - big and small - whether it involves getting ready for a surprise birthday party for a Gremulon princess, dealing with demanding dairy-obsessed customers from the Milky Way, making peace between two spaceships of hungry space pirates, or helping a scary-looking, but shy, visitor make friends when no one will sit with him at lunch.

Include any other comments or information you want the Commission to consider in evaluating your compliance with the Children's Television Act (or use this space for supplemental explanations). This may include information on any other noncore 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. Section 73.671, NOTES 2 and 3. WHEC-TV engages in non-broadcast activities such as conducting station tours, participating in reading programs at area schools and speaking to various groups about careers in the communications industry. On May 2, 2015, News Anchor, Rebecca Leclair, served as the emcee for the annual March for Babies fundraiser. WHEC-TV was a sponsor for the event. Prior to the Walk, we did news segments and promotions encouraging our viewers to participate and donate. Wednesday, 5/6/15, Karen Calarese, conducted a station tour for ROTC Cadets from School of the Arts. They visited various departments and got to ask questions about the various employment opportunities in our business. On June 15, 2015, News Anchor, Rebecca Leclair participated in the annual Christie Simonetti Memorial Golf Tournament, which raises money for the Pirate Toy Fund. PTF, buys and distributes toys for children in need throughout our community. WHEC-TV also participates in a project whereby local high school seniors are nominated to be the News10NBC Scholar Athlete of the week. Every Tuesday our sports-team selects a unique senior who not only holds a B+ (85 or higher) average academically, but also excels in one or more school athletic programs. The recipient is profiled during the sports segment of our six o'clock newscast, September through the first week of June. On April 12, 2015, WHEC-TV presented a Day of Miracles. This featured cut-ins and extended stories, as well as poignant interviews throughout the day in an effort to encourage our viewers to support the new Golisano Children's Hospital here in Rochester, scheduled to open in May 2015. Our community came through with flying colors by pledging thousands of dollars to this new facility. The News10NBC Special: NYSX Education: The Power of Choice, aired 5/17/15, 7-8PM. During this program, we drew the public's attention to the troubling graduation rates and test scores in the Rochester City School District. We've been reporting on this issue for more than a year. Now we raised the stakes by discussing not just the problems that we've found, but possible solutions as well. WHEC-TV airs a Kids Programming PSA that explains the programming educational/informational symbol; what it means and how parents can use it. This :30 second PSA/Promo aired as follows: 4/1/15, 2:21PM; 4/4/15, 10:27AM; 4/10/15, 2:08PM; 4/11/15, 9:23AM; 4/13/15, 2:22PM; 4/18/15, 10:57AM; 4/22/15, 2:23PM; 4/25/15, 9:19AM; 4/29/15, 2:23PM; 5/2/15, 10:27AM; 5/6/15, 12:52PM;5/9/15, 10:57AM; 5/11/15, 12:39PM; 5/16/15, 9:40AM; 5/20/15, 12:58PM; 5/23/15, 10:57AM; 5/28/15, 12:39PM; 5/30/15, 9:57AM; 6/5/15, 2:54PM; 6/6/15, 7:57AM; 6/8/15, 2:16PM; 6/13/15, 10:57AM; 6/19/15, 2:28PM; 6/20/15, 11:27AM; 6/25/15, 12:52PM; 6/27/15, 10:27AM; 6/30/15, 12:47PM.

The team of animals who run it are the best of friends - Comet, Halley, Sputnik, Radar and Jet - all under the watchful eye of Sal the Octopus. But when you stick five friends with very different personalities in one place - things are bound to get messy. Through it all, the "Astroblast!" crew accept their differences, help one another, make new friends, and discover that getting along is always out of this world. Every day brings a new adventure - big and small - whether it involves getting ready for a surprise birthday party for a Gremulon princess, dealing with demanding dairy-obsessed customers from the Milky Way, making peace between two spaceships of hungry space pirates, or helping a scary-looking, but shy, visitor make friends when no one will sit with him at lunch.

The settings are always brightly colored and beautiful. And their transport vehicles are Roly-pods, artful go-carts that fit on a spiral ramp that folds in and out of the Spin-Again, a colorful round spinning top with special compartments designed to anchor each vehicle right on the outside rim during the journey.
