| Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. | Ariel & Zoey & Eli, Too (AZE2), a musical variety show that is driven by three siblings, empowers children to accomplish their goals and their dreams. AZE2 accomplishes this through interviewing people who excel in their profession and have a positive message for kids, introducing guests who perform different genres of music, and presenting musical performances by the cast members themselves. These cast musical performances show children they can write their own music and the importance of teamwork. Music on the show is produced by Emmy Award winner David Barrett. He and Brian Brill (another Emmy winner) ensure that the music is tailored for the young audience. All songs offer a positive message about life. Every episode begins with the song "Sweet Company" which sends the positive message of friendship and ends with the singing of "End of Another Day" which encourages the viewer to stay optimistic about tomorrow. Airs on Digital 2. The station ceased broadcasting on this secondary channel on 8/31/12. |

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. | WCHS continues to support the community airing numerous Public Service announcements designed to inform viewers of health and safety issues, drug prevention, and the importance of education and the environment.There was wide local interest in story where two local state troopers were killed in the line of duty. We provided extensive coverage of this story, even live coverage of their funerals which had to be held at the Charleston Civic Center because it was such a large event attended by thousands of people. Local politicians, statesmen, families, friends and law enforcement officers from all over the country attended the event. We received so much goodwill from the viewing public it was overwhelming. Following the story of the trooper killings, we found there was a need for bullet proof vests for state troopers in Roane County, WV. We provided air time to talk about the problem, and spur public action. We provided coverage of this year's upcoming election, offering information on local and national candidates, issues, etc. WCHS TV promoted its public service effort called "No Text Zone" to educate and encourage drivers to stop texting while driving, which recently became the law of the land in West Virginia. WCHS participated in and supported the following events: Our Back Pack Attack event collected over 650 backpacks for children who need them. Our Fugitive Files segment continues to be a great public service where we profile wanted criminals, solicit viewer phone calls, and local law enforcement agencies act on their tips, giving viewers the power to make their neighborhood a safer place to live. The segment has helped net 463 wanted criminals to date. Our Behind the Kitchen Door segment reveals which restaurants are doing well to keep their eateries clean and safe for patrons, and which ones may need a little help according to the health dept. WCHS organized a food drive for residents who needed help after falling victim to recent storms. We also disseminated information to storm victims for FEMA. |
