Also effective on 9/17/16, KUSI-TV will air 3.5 hours of E/I programming during core, and an additional 1 hour during non-core hours.

"Ocean Mysteries", "Expedition Wild", "Brain Games", "Dog Town" & Hatched all started on 9/17/16 "Teen Kids News" and "Jack Hanna - Into the Wild" moved to different time-slots during core hours.
