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. | KFMB TV airs a number of Public Service Announcements, other than those listed elsewhere in this report, which serve the educational and informational needs of children 16 years of age and under. Organizations/topics include: drug/alcohol prevention tips targeting children and teens and crime prevention, gun safety, environmental protection and violence prevention and literacy. In addition, the station airs a variety of local and network news and public affairs programs. These generally present a mix of local, regional, state, national and international news plus weather, sports, health, educational and features. In the station's judgement, certain portions of these news programs can further the development of the cognitive or intellectual needs of older children. In addition, KFMB TV has a variety of year-round, on-air and outreach projects targeting children. 1) News 8's Weather Wednesdays- News 8 Meteorologist Matt Baylow visits area elementary and middle schools on Wednesday mornings to present a comprehensive weather lesson. Baylow discusses general meteorology terms, the dynamics of San Diego's microclimates, broadcast meteorology and conducts a student question and answer session. To date, Baylow has visited more than 400 county schools and mentored thousands of students. 2) Volunteer 8. KFMB TV promotes volunteerism in San Diego County for all ages, including children by recruiting volunteers for San Diego County non-profit organizations and events. 3) ADOPT 8 - KFMB TV partners with San Diego County Health and Human Services to find forever homes for children in the San Diego County Foster System. Twice a week, KFMB TV airs profiles on children who are currently in the Foster Care System waiting to be adopted, along with Public Service Announcements. While the "on air" stories and PSAs target adults, the ultimate goal of the project is to help "hard to place" children find their forever families. Since the program's inception in 1999, more than 400 foster children have been placed in "forever families." In addition, San Diego County Health and Human Services has placed other children in permanent homes as a result of the Adopt 8 "on air" awareness campaign. San Diego County Health and Human Services and Rivers of Hope Foundation sponsor this project. 4) EARTH 8- KFMB TV partners with Birch Aquarium at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography at University of California, San Diego to educate the community about care and stewardship of the planet. Earth 8 includes weekly news segments with leaders in research and conservation and monthly in-depth, filed produced stories. Topics have included: water conservation, climate change; earth friendly tips; stewardship; gray whales; air quality; endangered sea and animal life. KFMB TV also airs a variety of Public Service Announcements to educate children and adults on caring for our planet. Earth 8 also hosts various environmental outreach products during the year for youth and adults. Earth 8 Website contains a section for children educating them on the ways to help protect the environment. 5) KFMB TV partners with the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation of San Diego to educate children and youth about Juvenile Diabetes. 8's Walk to Cure Diabetes encourages area schools to hold fundraising walks on campus benefiting the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. This project is supported with Public Service Announcements, Webpage and News stories. 6) Broadcast Educational Development: KFMB TV anchors/reporters/behind-the-scenes staff participate in schools' career days throughout the county. KFMB TV also conducts station tours for elementary, middle, high school and college students. During this quarter, KFMB TV staff participated in more than 14 appearances to discuss broadcasting careers, educational background and dynamics of the broadcasting business. |
