Ruff-Ruff, the dog, is the most playful of the three; Tweet is a little bird who loves to fly and get creative with her suggestions; and Dave the Panda has a thing for bananas. RRTD might go to the beach, or the mountains, or to strange lands with pillows everywhere, just the sort of place where imagination and logic come together. The settings are always brightly colored and beautiful. Their transport vehicles are Roly-pods, artful go-carts that fit on a spiral ramp that folds in and out of the Spin-Again, a colorful round spinning top with special compartments designed to anchor each vehicle right on the outside rim during the journey. |

Families can talk about the specific stories that are covered in each episode. Teens interested in a particular topic may want to dig up more information through the Internet or via a trip to the library. |

Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. | "The Chica Show" features a five-year-old "baby" chick that spends her days with her parents in their costume shop, the Coop. The shop's one employee, Kelly, doubles as Chica's nanny and the ensemble is rounded out with Bunji, a large floppy eared rabbit, and Stitches, a straw mannequin that sits in the window. In each episode Chica develops or encounters a problem that she cannot immediately resolve. Usually her issues involve impulse control, distractibility, judgment, and inter-personal behaviors. She and Kelly usually work on the problem through an adventure - a fantasy transformation to animation - where Bunji and Stitches come alive and join Chica and Kelly for the problem solving process. The core educational content is primarily socio-emotional development as Chica learns how to express herself properly, think before she acts, and interact with others effectively. She often learns that it takes hard work and practice to become proficient at different skills. |

Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. | "Floogals" is an animated show starring three space aliens - Fleeker, Flo and Boomer - who have been sent to earth to explore, investigate, discover and report their findings to their superiors at Floogal headquarters. The diminutive Floogals are no taller than a large safety pin and their visual perspective is literally the point of view of the show. With the multiple challenges of their size and ignorance of all things Hooman (that's Floogal-speak for human), the Floogals have a lot of work on their hands. They are engaged in the dual processes of discovery and problem solving as nothing on earth is familiar to them. Much like young children, they begin by encountering something new and then go through a comedic multi-step process of watching, listening, touching, and note-taking until they've figured out what and how their new discovery fits into the Hooman universe. |

Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. | "Astroblast," based on the book series by author and illustrator Bob Kolar, is set on a space station in an unknown solar system. Five animal characters and one three-eyed octopus of unknown derivation populate the station. Each episode begins with an everyday conversation or incident that grows into a predicament needing a solution. While these predicaments take place in a fantasy environment, the issues and resolutions resonate for a preschool audience. Through comedy and zippy action, our target audience sees how the characters learn lessons for practical living such as how to keep track of things that belong to you, practice good habits, clean up when you've made a mess, rebound from a failure or an embarrassing incident, or resist the urge to blame others for your mistakes. |

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. | Due to a network programming error originating at NBC, "Astroblast" and "The Chica Show" aired out of pattern on April 2, 2016. WFIE aired a make-good of these programs as follows: "Astroblast" make-good on Sunday, May 8 at 11:30 a.m. which is normal "second home"; "The Chica Show" make-good on Sunday, May 8 at 11 a.m. was a "third second home" necessitated by NBC's original mistake on April 2, delayed program re-feed and other network scheduling issues throughout second quarter. NBC Network is adjusting E/I programming effective the second week of 3rd quarter as follows: "Floogals" to "Terrific Trucks" at 9 a.m.; "Nina's World" to "Floogals" at 9:30 a.m.; "Ruff, Ruff, Tweet & Dave" to "Nina's World" at 10 a.m.; "Astroblast" to "Ruff, Ruff, Tweet & Dave" at 10 a.m. Therefore, you see that we have indicated one run of the first program listed and 12 runs of the second program listed for 3rd quarter. See public file for public service announcements designed specifically for children. "The More You Know's" comprehensive website (www.themoreyouknow.com)focuses on education, diversity, health, Internet safety and the environment.

WFIE conducts station tours and participates in "job shadow" days to give groups, individuals and organizations a "behind-the-sceens" look at broadcasting. Visitors see the various departments in the station and explain their functions, as well as the various jobs available in each department and the education needed to secure a job in broadcasting. Groups sit in on a newscast and are provided the opportunity to ask questions. See Issues Report for listing of tour groups and job shadow participants during current quarter. |

Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. | "Floogals" is an animated show starring three space aliens - Fleeker, Flo and Boomer - who have been sent to earth to explore, investigate, discover and report their findings to their superiors at Floogal headquarters. The diminutive Floogals are no taller than a large safety pin and their visual perspective is literally the point of view of the show. With the multiple challenges of their size and ignorance of all things Hooman (that's Floogal-speak for human), the Floogals have a lot of work on their hands. They are engaged in the dual processes of discovery and problem solving as nothing on earth is familiar to them. Much like young children, they begin by encountering something new and then go through a comedic multi-step process of watching, listening, touching, and note-taking until they've figured out what and how their new discovery fits into the Hooman universe. |
