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. Because Core Program 2 Heart of a Champion with Lauren Thompson did not air for a majority of weeks in the 2nd Quarter it was not counted as core and does not contribute to the calculation of the weekly average on the stations main stream. The resulting 30 minute shortfall being reported this quarter will be made up by the inclusion of an extra half hour of EI programming in the stations 3rd Quarter core programming schedule.
