Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. | Early and middle adolescence is an exciting yet a challenging period in one's life. Adolescents across the demographic spectrum and from all walks of life grapple with a number of pivotal but normal developmental milestones, such as preparing for more independence and responsibility, and experiencing change in relationships with family and peers. With increased self-reliance, young people make more of their own choices. And all the while, one cannot overlook that they grow in a dynamic, diverse, and complex world that offers both opportunities and social challenges. The goals of the series are to encourage the 13- to 16- yearold audience to: (1) explore, discover, and learn strategies to achieve personal dreams; (2) learn about the personal attributes important for achieving dreams; (3) explore ways one can "give back" to the community and act as an agent of change; and (4) gain knowledge about life skills necessary to "Live Life and Win." |

See 47 C.F.R. Section 73.671, NOTES 2 and 3. | All WBRC (6.1) preemptions that occurred on Saturday, October 27 were for the telecast of the 2018 Magic City Classic Parade. This annual event is of public interest and is telecast each year statewide. Due to an error in programming provided directly from Grit Network, on October 27, 2018 at 11:30 AM, episode 304 of Rock the Park aired without the required E/I graphic. As a result, we did not include the October 27 run of Rock the Park episode 304 in our core E/I totals. Rock the Park episode 304 ran again in its second home on November 3 at 12:00 PM with the E/I graphic, and that run is included in the core E/I programming. On November 17, the Bounce TV network replaced Vacation Creation with Tommy Davidson and Andrea Feczko at 10:00 AM and 10:30 AM with 2 episodes of Game Changers. |
