Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. The Real Winning Edge series is developed to be an educational and informational program for the 13-16 year age group. It is designed to help youth make winning choices in their lives in order to grow to be productive citizens. This series is based on role models who are making pro-social life choices. Emphasis on being honest, loyal, hard working toward productive goals, and treating others as they would like to be treated, are values emphasized by the positive role models in The Real Winning Edge. Education research indicates that, from preadolescence through the teenage years, youth are most influenced by their peers. Their role model preferences switch from parents to the sports and entertainment icons during these years for most. If the peers and the icons promote antisocial standards and nonconformity to guiding principles honored in our society, youth soon adopt behaviors that not only hurt others but hurt themselves. The Real Winning Edge will go a long way in helping youth to develop character, being the best they can be by seeing their peers and the celebrities whom they admire, who themselves have the character to make winning choices. This program meets the definition of Core Programming because: (1) it serves the educational and informational needs of children ages 16 and under; (2) it airs at 2:30pm; (3) it is regularly scheduled on Sundays; (4) it is 30 minutes in length; (5) the educational/informational objective and target child audience for this program are specified on air and to program guide publishers.

Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. The Real Winning Edge series is developed to be an educational and informational program for the 13-16 year age group. It is designed to help youth make winning choices in their lives in order to grow to be productive citizens. This series is based on role models who are making pro-social life choices. Emphasis on being honest, loyal, hard working toward productive goals, and treating others as they would like to be treated, are values emphasized by the positive role models in The Real Winning Edge. Education research indicates that, from preadolescence through the teenage years, youth are most influenced by their peers. Their role model preferences switch from parents to the sports and entertainment icons during these years for most. If the peers and the icons promote antisocial standards and nonconformity to guiding principles honored in our society, youth soon adopt behaviors that not only hurt others but hurt themselves. The Real Winning Edge will go a long way in helping youth to develop character, being the best they can be by seeing their peers and the celebrities whom they admire, who themselves have the character to make winning choices. This program meets the definition of Core Programming because: (1) it serves the educational and informational needs of children ages 16 and under; (2) it airs at 2:30pm; (3) it is regularly scheduled on Saturdays; (4) it is 30 minutes in length; (5) the educational/informational objective and target child audience for this program are specified on air and to program guide publishers.
