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. | April through June 2016, WFXL has a weather center set up in Albany's local Thronateeska museum. Once a month our meteorologist goes to the museum to discuss with children the importance of accurate weathercasts and how it affects their lives. He also discusses what is needed to succeed in the field of meteorology. May 2, 2016 Our meteorologist went to Lake Joy Primary to explore weather phenomena and showed students what it takes to create a weathercast on air. Shared with the students the education necessary if they wanted to choose this career. We invited 46 students from Pataula Charter Academy to a station tour. They were shown how Master Control works as well as how we air our news in the evening. |
