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. | The Digital Core Programming Summary section of this report would not permit the station to include preemption reports for such unrescheduled preemptions, and FCC Staff has advised that no preemption report for such unrescheduled episodes is necessary. During this quarter, WBAL-TV scheduled four additional episodes of the regularly scheduled core children's program, "Teen Kids News." These additional airings were intended to help increase audience awareness of the program and to further educate and inform teen viewers about topical, current news events. The importance of engaging teen viewers in news-of-the-day -- which is a principal goal of the station's airing of these additional episodes -- cannot be overstated, as big news stories occurred during the First Quarter, and the episodes also examined significant social and cultural developments and "feel good" stories to expand the worldview and socio-cultural literacy of teen viewers. In short, these airings were designed to update the teen audience about recent events and reports, some of which they had missed due to network sports coverage. The station notified listing guides about these additional core episodes, and the station aired an informational crawl to promote the Special Edition episodes. |
