| Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. | The mission of Teen Kids News is to produce a weekly news program that provides information and news to kids in a manner that is compelling as well as highly entertaining. It is designed to appeal to the audience on its own level. The focus of the program is young people, always letting them tell their stories in their own words. The large, diverse news anchor team is unique in television and has great appeal to kids who identify with and emulate them. This program serves the audience in a way that makes a real difference in its viewers' lives. It inserts the clear voice of the kid into the adult-dominated media and provides a unique perspective to the news that is not currently available on network television. This is a unique way of doing business in the crowded world of television news. There is no current news programming that features actual kids reporting to other kids on television. There have been shows by adults working with kids but none with which a young audience can literally identify. Teen Kids News is filling that void and has captured the imagination of America, becoming the first program in history targeting the next generation of news viewers. Program is broadcast on the main digital channel. |

| 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. | On April 21, 2018, core programs Health and Happiness with Mayo Clinic and The Champion Within were preempted from their regularly scheduled times at 12noon and 1230pm to air breaking news coverage of the funeral proceedings of former First Lady and American icon Barbara Bush. The late-breaking nature of her passing and scheduling of her funeral service were beyond the control of the station and made it impracticable for the station to reschedule Health and Happiness with Mayo Clinic and The Champion Within. In addition, the breaking news coverage caused core program Naturally, Danny Seo to be interrupted approximately 10 minutes prior to the end of the show; because the show aired substantially in its entirety, a preemption report for that episode is not included in the Digital Core Programming Summary section of this report. WYFF 4 is active in community efforts. On Saturday May 5th, station employees participated in "Hands on Greenville Day". Fifteen station employees volunteered to work at a local elementary school to improve the landscaping. In 2018, WYFF 4 continues The Golden Apple Awards program, which salutes teachers nominated by students and parents.

WYFF 4 actively participates in Internship Programs with area students. During 2nd quarter of 2018, the station had a total of 6 interns from local colleges and universities who interned in news, sports, and operations. WYFF 4 actively participates in community outreach.

It is designed to appeal to the audience on its own level. The focus of the program is young people, always letting them tell their stories in their own words. The large, diverse news anchor team is unique in television and has great appeal to kids who identify with and emulate them. This program serves the audience in a way that makes a real difference in its viewers' lives. It inserts the clear voice of the kid into the adult-dominated media and provides a unique perspective to the news that is not currently available on network television. This is a unique way of doing business in the crowded world of television news. There is no current news programming that features actual kids reporting to other kids on television. There have been shows by adults working with kids but none with which a young audience can literally identify. Teen Kids News is filling that void and has captured the imagination of America, becoming the first program in history targeting the next generation of news viewers. Program is broadcast on the main digital channel. |
