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. As a public service during this quarter, WHEC TV broadcast, as an additional multicast stream, local weather information, including live radar, 10 day forecasts, current temperature, public service announcements, sponsorship logos and other limited content. The viewers of WHEC TV often face severe weather conditions and the local weather updates, forecasts and live radar provided a public service and enhanced public safety by offering continuous information about local weather, including dangerous or imminent weather events. The Stations records indicate that this stream did not receive any cable or DBS carriage. At the time of the initial submission of this FCC Form 398 on April 5, 2018, WHEC TV appears not to have included this multicast stream. Upon further review, however, WHEC TV determined that it should include the weather stream with its other multicast services, as part of its average number of multicast hours on this report, and so amended this report as of June 3, 2019. WHEC TV also took prompt steps to increase its total number of childrens educational and informational programming to better reflect its total number of broadcast hours going forward, as well as to provide a more thorough description of all the childrens programming, both core and non-core, appearing on the Station, including the submission of updated FCC Forms 398 during the relevant quarters affected. Accordingly, this amended report now reflects the relevant core and non core educational programming as well as the primary and multicast hours aired by the Station during the relevant quarter. The following information was in our original submission, WHEC TV participates in a project whereby local high school seniors are nominated to be the News10NBC Scholar Athlete of the week. Every Tuesday our sports team selects a unique senior who not only holds an 85 or higher average academically, but also excels in one or more school athletic programs. The recipient is profiled during the sports segment of our six oclock newscast, September through the first week of June. Once a week during this quarter we recognized kids who have gone above and beyond to help others. They are the recipients of the Rochester Police Departments and News10NBCs, Do the Right Thing award. The winners have done noteworthy things, such as organizing charity events, preventing bullying or going out of their way to help a classmate in need. Profiles were broadcast during our newscasts. The following PSAs aired during the quarter. The childrens programming PSA explains the educational informational symbol what it means and how parents can use it. Other Public Service Announcements that aired throughout the quarter that pertained to children and teenagers were, Distracted Driving while texting, Student Attendance, Pedestrian walking and texting dangers. Details regarding air dates and times can be found in the WHEC and NBC Childrens Programming Report under Additional Documents. During this quarter there were twelve Sundays to report Jack Hannas Into The Wild, an educational and informational program, which airs on our primary channel DT.1 at 11:30AM. We also reported twelve Sundays for our childrens programming that airs on our secondary channel ME TV DT.2. During 3rd quarter of 2018 there will be fourteen Sundays to report childrens programming. Programming for the next quarter shows anticipated rescheduling to second broadcast home due to NBC sports programming.
