Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. | Come spend a 'day in the life' with the monsters at Wimzie's house and you'll never want to go home. It's the magical kind of daycare that leads to delightful adventures for the pre-school child. All of the characters are wild and wooly on the outside - but definitely human on the inside.After spending a half hour in this very special home away from home, no one will leave the world of Wimzie unchanged. It is the world where the real and the imaginary come together, where self esteem is the order of the day, where the emotions and the relationships of today's preschoolers, who are growing up to be ten in the year 2000, are on the top of the list of story material. Five year old Wimzie and her mother Graziella, an airline pilot, live in Yaya's house as does Rousso, Yaya's best friend - even if Yaya is at least one hundred years and fifty years old (and counting) and Russo is much more than a hundred years her younger. Graziella is more than ecstatic to have found a warm and comfortable home as well as a loving environment for her daughter, Wimzie, while she is off on her somewhat unorthodox work schedule flying around the world. It is within this setting that we meet Jonas, Archibald, Loulou, Horace, and Azuline as they work out the relationships that grow out of being together every day, of growing up just a little bit every day. They learn not only about themselves but also about the world outside the door: music, nature, art and fun are woven with a touch of humour throughout a storyline solidly crafted on socio-affective objectives. Music, songs, the art of discovery. Rhymes, magic, the sharing of secrets with friends. Storytime, word games, the acceptance of "your" way. This is what Wimzie brings into the viewers' home. A daycare full of little monsters - what could be more real? Conflict, difficulty, resolution, triumph. Laughter, tears, anger and joy. Wimzie is a world of enchantment. |

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. | Due to an error caused by a bad version of the program that we received from the program distributor, the MeTV Network educational program "Safari," which aired on Saturday, March 23, 2013 from 10:30- 11:00am Eastern/Pacific Time (9:30- 10:00am Central/Mountain Time) did not contain an "E/I" logo superimposition throughout the entire program. This program was identified by the Network as an "E/I" program to the suppliers of program guides, and it was also introduced by an announcement stating that the following program is an "E/I" program. In addition, the "E/I" logo did appear as a superimposition over the program for approximately the first five seconds at the start of each program segment. Due to an error, the logo did not continue to be superimposed thereafter. MeTV Network has informed us that this was an inadvertent error and actions have been taken to help ensure the error does not recur. In addition, this same program episode was aired in a rebroadcast on Saturday, March 30, 2013 from 11:00- 11:30am Eastern/Pacific Time (10:00- 10:30am Central/Mountain Time) in its established second home. This rebroadcast was publicized by announcements on MeTV Network, and the "E/I" logo was superimposed over the program for the entire program duration in this rebroadcast. Due to a failure of the network-wide graphics box, which is responsible for keying in the "E/I" logo over all children's educational programming, THIS Network children's educational programs which aired on Saturday, March 23 and Sunday March 24, 20013 did not contain an "E/I" logo superimposition throughout the entirety of the programs. Each of these programs were identified by the Network as an "E/I" program to the suppliers of program guides, and each was also introduced by an announcement stating that the following program is an "E/I" program. However, due to the graphics error the "E/I" logo failed to appear as a superimposition over each of the programs for the full duration of all program segments. THIS Network has informed us that this inadvertent error has been corrected. In addition, these same program episodes were aired in a rebroadcast, in their respective second home, at the following dates and times listed below (all times listed in Eastern time, and during the corresponding time block in other time zones). These rebroadcasts were publicized by announcements on THIS Network, and the "E/I" logo was superimposed over each of the seven programs for the entire program duration in these rebroadcasts. Affected Program: Rebroadcast Date & Time "Busy World of Richard Scarry" #40 Saturday, 3/30 from 1:00- 1:30pm ET "Wimzie's House" #104 Saturday, 3/30 from 1:30- 2:00pm ET "Wimzie's House" #105 Saturday, 3/30 from 2:00- 2:30pm ET "Country Mouse, City Mouse" #24 Saturday, 3/30 from 2:30- 3:00pm ET "Danger Rangers" #113 ` Saturday, 3/30 from 3:00- 3:30pm ET "Doodlebops Rockin' Road Show" #126 Friday, 3/29 from 10:00- 10:30am ET "Doodlebops" #312 Sunday, 3/31 from 11:00- 11:30am ET |

Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. | Come spend a 'day in the life' with the monsters at Wimzie's house and you'll never want to go home. It's the magical kind of daycare that leads to delightful adventures for the pre-school child. All of the characters are wild and wooly on the outside - but definitely human on the inside.After spending a half hour in this very special home away from home, no one will leave the world of Wimzie unchanged. It is the world where the real and the imaginary come together, where self esteem is the order of the day, where the emotions and the relationships of today's preschoolers, who are growing up to be ten in the year 2000, are on the top of the list of story material. Five year old Wimzie and her mother Graziella, an airline pilot, live in Yaya's house as does Rousso, Yaya's best friend - even if Yaya is at least one hundred years and fifty years old (and counting) and Russo is much more than a hundred years her younger. Graziella is more than ecstatic to have found a warm and comfortable home as well as a loving environment for her daughter, Wimzie, while she is off on her somewhat unorthodox work schedule flying around the world. It is within this setting that we meet Jonas, Archibald, Loulou, Horace, and Azuline as they work out the relationships that grow out of being together every day, of growing up just a little bit every day. They learn not only about themselves but also about the world outside the door: music, nature, art and fun are woven with a touch of humour throughout a storyline solidly crafted on socio-affective objectives. Music, songs, the art of discovery. Rhymes, magic, the sharing of secrets with friends. Storytime, word games, the acceptance of "your" way. This is what Wimzie brings into the viewers' home. A daycare full of little monsters - what could be more real? Conflict, difficulty, resolution, triumph. Laughter, tears, anger and joy. Wimzie is a world of enchantment. |
