Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. Animal Atlas brings information about the natural world of animals to viewers in a non-didactic, entertaining way. Its approach in no way diminishes the learning that takes place when observations lead to conclusions-and young minds will draw many conclusions about the natural world shown in this series. These conclusions are consistent with nationally published curriculum goals in the natural sciences. They include concepts such as the functions of animals in an ecosystem (predator/prey relationships, etc.), the elements of animal classification, and the general emphasis on life science. The narration is well informed and unobtrusive, allowing for the inevitable learning that comes from wonder and delight. This series also presents in a non-exploitive way views of animal behavior and physiology that traditional pedagogical programming might not include. The ability for young people to observe, wonder, and compare is one of the strengths of the series. (airs on primary digital station at this time)

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. Due to a technical error, 12.5 hours of Bounce Network programming that aired between 9/10/16 and 10/15/16 did not contain the E/I symbol. The technical issue has since been resolved, and, with one exception on 11/05/16, all regularly scheduled Bounce E/I programming has included the E/I symbol as of 10/22/16. Bounce established new processes to ensure that this issue does not recur. To address any possible concerns about compliance with FCC requirements for E/I programming, Bounce rebroadcast the 12.5 hours of E/I programming that originally aired without the E/I symbol, for a total of 12.5 hours of E/I programming in addition to Bounce's regularly scheduled E/I programming. See attached Bounce Make Up Broadcasts attachment. The FCC staff was notified of the error and the steps taken to resolve the error.
