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. | KBFX-CD is proud to support the children of our community with a variety of community outreach programs. Many of our projects utilize our airwaves, in conjunction with non-broadcast efforts. The programs selected for implementation target the education of our children and a "helping hand" for our neighbors. During the 4th quarter of 2018, projects included: One Classroom at A Time, Hometown Sports, Bakersfield Teddy Bear Toss, Bakersfield Toy Run, Making Strides Against Breast Cancer, Kern County Cancer Run, Jamison Children's Center Toy Drive, National Weather Association-Kern Chapter and Guest Speakers. Several Eyewitness News anchors and reporters participated as guest speakers at local fundraisers or education seminars for local non-profit organizations. As well as participated in station tours for non-profit organizations. Each week, local public service announcements specifically designed to serve the educational and informational needs of children are scheduled to air on KBFX. A few examples are: United Way "Join/Fight"-this PSA expresses ways the public can help to build a better foundation for tomorrow's leaders by joining The United Way to help increase graduation rater of high school aged children; Learning & Attention-this PSA brings awareness to children struggling with their education due to dyslexia and provides information for parents on ways they can help; Minority Education-this PSA encourages communities to support minority education due to the lower income financial circumstances, minorities face. Our efforts are not limited to the examples listed, and more detailed information can be obtained in the station's public file. |
