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 September 1, 2018, core programs, The Voyager, Wilderness Vet, Journey with Dylan Dreyer, Naturally Danny Seo, Health and Happiness with Mayo Clinic, The Champion Within, Lucky Dog, Dr. Chris Pet Vet, Innovation Nation, The Inspectors and Pet Vet Dream Team were preempted from their regularly scheduled times at 8:00 am through 11:30 am to air breaking news coverage of the funeral proceedings of American hero and Senator John McCain. The late breaking nature of his passing and scheduling of his funeral service were beyond the control of the station and made it impracticable for the station to reschedule The Voyager, Wilderness Vet, Journey with Dylan Dreyer, Naturally Danny Seo, Health and Happiness with Mayo Clinic, The Champion Within, Lucky Dog, Dr. Chris Pet Vet, Innovation Nation, The Inspectors and Pet Vet Dream Team. All core EI episodes on the stations primary channel were preempted on September 29. Because 9/29 was the final Saturday of the third quarter, the episodes were rescheduled to October 7 and are being counted in this third quarter report. On Saturday, September 15, 2018, the station was off the air as the result of an unexpected power outage caused by a storm, which was beyond the control of the station. Under these circumstances, it was impracticable to reschedule the childrens E/I shows, and the station is treating these episodes similarly to breaking news preemptions for purposes of this quarters core programming calculation.
