| Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. | Noodle and Doodle, an instructional series, features creating art projects and cooking projects around a specific theme. Host, Sean, drives around in a double-decker bus fully equipped with art supplies and a kitchen, ready for any assignment. The projects encourage parent engagement and often feature families working together to make something to display within the child's home. Sean's side-kick, Doggity, is an ever-faithful beagle who transforms into an animated character during interstitial trips to a parallel universe, set in a kitchen full of prank-playing animated characters. The art projects typically promote utilizing recycled materials in order to demonstrate that creativity can transform something intended for one purpose into something that achieves a completely different goal.

| Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. | Lazy Town encourages fitness and healthful habits for preschool children. In the imaginary setting of Lazy Town, characters' eating and fitness habits are linked to problem solving in their world. The lead character is Stephanie, a young girl who guides the audience through the story as she and her friends ("human" puppets) and her Uncle (Mayor Milford Meanswell) navigate life within Lazy Town. Robbie Rotten, the underground spy and influencer who personifies the ethos of Lazy Town, is determined to ruin the health and fitness practices of Stephanie and her friends. When the kids have difficulty with Robbie Rotten, Sportacus, a gymnast/athlete prepared to answer any call for help, comes to the rescue from his home in a zeppelin-like aircraft that hovers over earth. The underlying themes of Lazy Town stress the importance of eating "sports candy" (a.k.a. fruits and vegetables), always obtaining sufficient sleep, and going outside to engage in a wide range of physical activities including playing games, competing athletically, and even building forts and play structures. This program aired on the station's main digital channel. |

| Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. | Zou is the story of a 5-year-old zebra, Bizou, who lives in an intergenerational household composed of his parents, grandparents, and great grandmother. They reside in a lovely brightly colored suburban community of vertical, bi-pedaled zebras that walk, talk, dress, and interact like humans. Bizou's best friend, Elzee, lives next door and his other good friend, Zac, is often found in his father's store. Bizou also has a less rewarding relationship with his snooty, spoiled cousin Zinnia, a budding ballerina. We follow Zou through his hum-drum days, vicariously participating in his birthday, a trip to the store, taking his pet parakeet, Poc, to the doctor, or helping Elzee find a lost toy. The show is very centered on family and personal relationships, and the abundant adults in the family are always around to guide, but not direct, Bizou through his dilemmas, projects, and predicaments. This program airs on the station's main digital channel. |

| Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. | Justin Time features a little boy, Justin, who wants very much to master his destiny, have great adventures, and solve problems. He begins with a problem that vexes him and daydreams his way into an adventure that takes him to different places around the world, providing him with an experience to help solve his problem when he returns home. Justin is accompanied by two imaginary friends throughout his adventures: Olive, a knowledgeable playmate, and Squidgy, the morphing flying sponge, who provides commentary and comedy along the way. Some examples of Justin's lessons involve learning that it takes focus to achieve success, that our failures can teach what we need to do to succeed next time, and that when one path to solve a problem doesn't work, you can find an alternative way to achieve your goal. Justin Time promotes self-directed learning from the young child's perspective and imagination. This program aired on the station's main digital channel. |

Through comedy and zippy action, our target audience sees how the characters learn lessons for practical living such as how to: keep track of things that belong to you, practice good habits, clean up a space when you've made a mess, rebound from a failure or embarrassing incident, or resist the urge to blame others for your mistakes.

When the kids have difficulty with Robbie Rotten, Sportacus, a gymnast/athlete prepared to answer any call for help, comes to the rescue from his home in a zeppelin-like aircraft that hovers over earth.
