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. In the 3rd Quarter of 2017 several preemptions were due to golf. All programs were made good as indicated in the report. On August 26 four core programs were preempted by breaking news coverage of Hurricane Harvey. Before we ascertained that this was a qualifying "breaking news" event, we made-good one program (Voyager with Josh Garcia) in its established "second home": Monday at 2pm (August 28). On WCSH 6.3 programming was changed on 8/26. Those changes are indicated in the report. Due to a master control error, the block of WCSH 6.1 e/i shows (which were preempted on 9/30) aired "out of pattern" of their previous 2nd homes. The shows aired in established weekdays and times that have served as e/i 2nd homes throughout Q3, except for "Journey with Dylan Dreyer," which was preempted from the 2nd home airing on 9/26 due to breaking news.

Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. Young, enthusiastic, and passionate about food, Claire Thomas is the 22 year old host who opens viewers' eyes to how everyday life can inspire culinary creations in Food for Thought. Each weekly-half hour, produced for ages 13-16, informs and educates teens about the power of food as a tool for exploring new places, meeting new people and learning about different cultures. Claire serves as a role model for 13-16 year old viewers by showing her passion for her family, life, and healthy living by sharing stories in the kitchen. Creative inspiration can come from any place at any time - sometimes from family, sometimes from friends, or even from bloggers needing her help. No matter how exotic or local the location, she's always in search of new tastes and places to explore. Based on her unique perspective gathered throughout each episode, Claire will teach the audience how to prepare the "inspired" dish while promoting a healthy attitude towards food and life.
