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. | On 8/31/17, KVHP-DT2 changed networks from CW to ABC. Also, on KVHP Primary Channel, because Core Programs #5 (Xploration: DIY Sci) and #6 (Xploration: Nature Knows Best) did not air for a majority of weeks in the 3rd Quarter, neither will be counted as core or contribute to the calculation of the weekly average on the station's main stream.
