| 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. Chica's parents were formerly entertainers in the vaudeville tradition and they regale the audience with stories and songs from their theatrical past. They enjoy and indulge Chica, who sometimes acts younger than her age and gets into all kinds of predicaments. Kelly uses fantasy play to transform herself, Chica, Bunji and Stitches into animated characters in another universe, who are struggling with a problem similar to the one Chica experiences in the Coop. Without fail, they find the problem can be solved any they carry that knowledge back to the Coop to use on another day. |

| Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. | Astroblast is the space station and home of six animal characters in Bob Colar's book series of the same name. The space station is managed by an over-confident and exuberant commander, Comet the dog. The crew includes, Sputnik the pig, a very knowledgeable reader; Haley, a rabbit, Comet's true peer and an athlete; Radar, the monkey, who is somewhat self-involved; Jet, a silent alligator whose gestures and expressions are his mode of communication, and Sal, a congenial 3-eyed octopus who runs the counter in the Smoothie Shack, the space station cafe. While the space station supports the missions of a bizarre and diverse array of aliens, the Smoothie Shack is the hub of social interaction for the galaxy. There is always something happening at Astroblast! and everyone on the crew has plenty to learn to keep the community happy and on an even keel. |

| Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. | Ruff Ruff, Tweet and Dave is a pre-school adventure/activity show where the lead characters travel to faraway lands to have adventures with their guide, a hamster named Hatty. 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. Ruff Ruff, Tweet and Dave 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. And 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. |

| Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. | Noodle and Doodle is a live-action show hosted by Sean Roach that also blends animation and puppetry into the overall format. Sean drives a double-decker bus into various communities to meet children who have written to him with a problem that they would like to solve using an art and/or a food experience. Sean is accompanied by Noodle, a puppet character and Doodle, a digital charter that lives inside a tablet computer, and Doggity, a faithful beagle. Doggity has a mini-show of his own through an animated alter ego that appears during diversionary segments set in a restaurant kitchen. The show demonstrates how recycled materials can become art and how food, art, and problem-solving can be combined to create a fun experience in everyday life. Every episode can be replicated at home with ease by parents and children playing together. |

| Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. | Terrific Trucks is based on the idea that every big truck and earth moving vehicle has a real life and a very unique personality that fits the specific type of work they do. In this live-action series, actual big trucks are personified and live in their quarry ready to hit the road to complete all kinds of each moving, heavy lifting, car crushing, and big maneuvering projects that are sent to their messenger, Mr. Bill Board, a huge digital sign that receives electronically delivered job requests for the team. Bill Board calls the team to assemble as he describes the work. Tork (an earnest dump truck and team leader) organizes the project and gives assignments to the team members. They are Sparky (an amiable front-end loader), Dug (a diligent and indispensable excavator for almost all the jobs), Stotz (an immaculate and vain 18-wheeler semi hauler), and Blinker (the youngest and playful mini front end loader). Invariably they have challenges and risks to manage with each job, but they get resolved with team efforts and mutual respect. Nonetheless, the best part of the day is coming home to the yard satisfied with what they have accomplished, and ready for a nice warm truck wash before they go in formation and sleep for the night. |
