PetsTV.com is dedicated to bringing the public news, information, entertainment and a point of view that promotes the health and welfare of companion animals. At PetsTV.com we believe pets are a precious gift and that: The solution to the problem of homeless pets is to have mandatory low cost spay /neuter programs. Every county and/or city should have a shelter that meets humane standards, promotes adoption and requires spay/neuter before adoption. We have a duty to work to improve the living conditions of mistreated companion animals and to raise public awareness about them. Public officials have an obligation to pursue policy initiatives and legislation that protect the health and welfare of companion animals. We strongly believe that most pet owners consider their pets to be an absolute part of their family and PetsTV.com will endeavor to reflect the joy, love and benefits they provide.

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. After due review of internal station records and documentation provided to us by program suppliers, the licensee hereby certifies that the station fully complied with the FCC's commercial limits in children's programs, as specified at 47 C.F.R. Section 73.670, with respect to all programs specifically designed for children ages twelve and under. The station did not broadcast an analog signal during this quarter. The licensee's response to Question 7(b) therefore assumes that the station's current main program stream serves as the equivalent to the station's former analog channel. WVLA timely filed its Form 398 on October 10,2012. Subsequent to filing, the station noticed a few minor inadvertent errors. The station now files this amended report to correct those errors.

Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. The Pajanimals are a group of four preschool aged puppets who live together in house with their off-screen mother and father. We meet them in the bedroom, a dormitory of sorts, where they show us their nighttime routine of brushing their teeth and having quiet conversation before falling off to sleep. The quiet time, always turns into a discussion that results in a dream-like adventure to solve a problem, such as overcoming shyness, making a new friend, or dealing with a bully. The adventure takes place in several nighttime dream locales where special friends help them work through the socio-emotional problem of the day. Specific approaches to managing the problem are demonstrated and practiced during the adventure, and the children return home confident, getting ample rest for today and facing their issues tomorrow.
