| 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, 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 have figured out what and how their new discovery fits into the Hooman universe. Lessons learned this quarter include dust is made of tiny particles of dirt, which float in the air and settle on things, dust can also get in your nose and make you sneeze, a tent is a temporary shelter that is used for experiences where you sleep outdoors, singing is something we do to make music and express our joy and it can be done anywhere, hamsters need food, drink and lots of toys that encourage them to exercise, a bandage is a protective cover for a wound so it can heal. During third quarter NBC Sports preempted the childrens program block numerous times with live sporting events including Olympics, Tour de France and Golf. These preemptions resulted in Floogals being moved to its secondary time period over an expanded period of time.

| Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. | The Chica Show features a five yearold baby chick that spends her days with her parents in their costume shop, the Coop. The shops one employee, Kelly, doubles as Chicas 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 interpersonal 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. Lessons learned this quarter include the first rule of being safe is always to watch where you are going so you do not bump into anything or anyone, you can have fun at games even if you do not win it is important to try and enjoy, when you rush you are likely to make mistakes it is important to practice patience, you need to eat healthful food like fruits and vegetables to have enough energy to do all the things you want to do every day. During third quarter NBC Sports preempted the childrens program block numerous times with live sporting events including Olympics, Tour de France and Golf. These preemptions resulted in The Chica Show being moved to a couple of secondary time periods over an expanded period of time. The regular time period for the show is 12:30pm, but with the multitude of sports forced movements many of the programs aired in the secondary time period of 10am, which in this quarter is being listed as the primary time.

| Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. | Terrific Trucks is a live-action series that follows the exploits of five self-driving, heavy-duty construction trucks. They include Tork, the dump truck, Stotz, the flatbed, Dug, the digger, Blinker, the mini-digger, and Sparky, the front-end loader. The trucks reside in a fully equipped truck yard rock quarry and work as a team on various building projects that require planning, collaboration and implementation. Each truck brings specific skills to the group. They get challenging job assignments from Mr. Bill Board, a digital outdoor screen that outlines and diagrams the problem to be solved. By allocating the role and duties each truck will perform during the project, the group merges those unique skills to fulfill their respective assignments. Unexpected problems that could compromise their success such as the weather, broken truck parts, or personal conflicts between the truck are addressed and overcome so the job can be completed. Messages this quarter include you need to read instruction about new equipment and listen to directions rushing ahead without proper preparation could lead to costly mistakes, when leading a team or group it is important to look out for your team members safety and taking breaks is also important, and it is important to always things where they belong when you are finished using them so you can find things when you need them again. Terrific Trucks joined the lineup on July 9th in the 10:30am time period, but during this quarter aired several times in its secondary time period because NBC Sports preempted the childrens program block numerous times with live sporting events including Olympics, Tour de France and Golf. WBBH made every effort to schedule all of the programs and gave advance notification over the air and in listing services of the preemptions and rescheduling. |

| Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. | Ninas World is a childhood adventure series, which re imagines a childhood for the character Nina, host of the Sprout Good Night Show. Nina is a six year old Latina, living in San Antonio Texas. She is exposed to adults and children from many cultures that live in her immediate neighborhood and in the mixed use housing complex, where her parents own a bakery downstairs from their apartment. Nina manages to create regular adventures with her friends, her parents, and the grown ups too because she is curious and determined to over reach her abilities in pursuit of her goals. Nina models resilience as there is not a day where she does not reflect on her encounters with good natured common sense and an ability to rebound after her mistakes. Lessons learned include wanting things does not make it acceptable to steal no matter how important it is to you, taking care of pets is a big responsibility, sharing what we have and working together with our friends and families can make any occasion extra special, and good sportsmanship is a very important part of playing games. During third quarter NBC Sports preempted the childrens program block numerous times with live sporting events including Olympics, Tour de France and Golf. These preemptions resulted in Ninas World being moved to a couple of secondary time periods over an expanded period of time. WBBH made every effort to schedule all of the programs and gave advance notification over the air and in listing services of the preemptions and rescheduling. NBC changed the childrens lineup on July 9th resulting in Ninas World regular time period being moved from 11am to 11:30am. |
