Some of the games also challenge viewers' memory, as directions are given at the beginning of the story and viewer are quizzed later on. Every episode is set in a different location, with places such as Fairytale Land and Music Land on the itinerary and opportunities to learn about the related concepts. |

Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. | Astroblast is the space station and home of six animal characters in Bob Colar's book series of the same name. The space station is managed by an overconfident and exuberant commander, Comet the dog. The crew includes, Sputnik the pig, a very knowledgeable reader, Haley, a rabbit, an athlete and Comet's true peer, Radar, the monkey, who is somewhat self involved, Jet, a silent alligator whose gestures and expressions are his mode of communication, and Sal, a congenial three-eyed octopus who runs the counter in the space station cafe, the Smoothie Shack. Astroblast is an engaging preschool series with excellent messages about friendship and embracing differences. All the characters are kind, welcoming, and curious, and each has a unique personality that brings valuable qualities to the group. Of course, the mix also causes some disagreements that must be discussed and resolved, which usually takes the cool head and sympathetic ear of a friend to accomplish. This helps show kids that all relationships have ups and downs and that effective communication is the key to resolving the little troubles that are bound to arise, even between the best of friends. |

Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. | A program that is entertaining and engaging to a wide audience while managing to deliver information that would be very welcome in a middle or high school classroom. The series matches the evolved visual intelligence of the young 21st century audience by building content with short clips, five seconds or less in length, and weaving them together in a narrative that keeps a viewer engaged with a compelling narrative overview. The animal kingdom has an innate richness of color, form, and motion and Animal Atlas episodes are built from this richness. The thread that links the clips together is the connection between the differing members of the animal kingdom including our own species. In a compelling blend, animal examples are pulled from both common experience, such as the horse and cat, and exotic animals like the clouded leopard and the red panda. As the nature of animals is explored, the content and clarity create a program of exception education value. |

The space station is managed by an overconfident and exuberant commander, Comet the dog.

Of course, the mix also causes some disagreements that must be discussed and resolved, which usually takes the cool head and sympathetic ear of a friend to accomplish. This helps show kids that all relationships have ups and downs and that effective communication is the key to resolving the little troubles that are bound to arise, even between the best of friends. |

As the nature of animals is explored, the content and clarity create a program of exception education value. |
