On October 10, the station experienced a technical issue that resulted in five of its E/I programs running out of sequence on its multicast stream. Each show aired its entirety, but did not air in its normal timeslot. Accordingly, the station is reporting a core weekly average of 2.80 hours for the 4th Q on its secondary channel. In order to make up this shortfall, the station will air two additional E/I programs on its multicast stream beginning Sunday, January 10 and each will run through the end of the 1st Q. |

The diminutive Floogals are no taller than a large safety pin and their visual perspective is literally the point of view of the show. With the multiple challenges of their size and ignorance of all things Hooman [that's Floogal-speak for human], the Floogals have a lot of work on their hands. They are engaged in the dual processes of discovery and problem solving as nothing on earth is familiar to them. Much like young children, they begin by encountering something new and then go through a comedic multi-step process of watching, listening, touching, and note-taking until they've figured out what and how their new discovery fits into the Hooman universe. |
