| 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. | WDEF aired PSAs which were of benefit to the youth and adults alike during the 3rd quarter of 2016 which aired on 12.1 and 12.2 and 12.3.. An initiative sponsored by the station is a news segment called Whats Right with Our Schools. WDEF News Anchor John Mercer features a segment each Monday during the 6pm newscast highlighting educators, students, individuals or community groups which work with students and schools in an extraordinary manner and who go above and beyond the norm in helping to educate children through life lessons. Some examples of Whats Right with our Schools include how Ooltewah Elementary school incorporated German lessons to German and American Kids on their first day of school. As part of an effort to integrate both cultures, school officials started a German tradition for the first full day of school by giving them a Schutute which is a cone full of school supplies which is a custom in Germany. Another inspiring story is about, Julie Holland Griggs an English teacher at North Jackson High School in Jackson, Alabama. She is trying to inspire her students to do great things and she uses a medium they can all relate to. Ms. Griggs took to Facebook and rapped her version of the So Gone Challenge. The So Gone Challenge is a social media challenge where people rap over R&B singer, Monicas 2003 hit So Gone and it has gone viral. Many people and celebrities have taken their shot at the challenge, including NBA players, Dwayne Wade and Damian Lillard, rapper, Chance the Rapper, and comedian, Kevin Hart. Another example of Whats Eight with Our Schools is how teens from all over the Scenic City came together to create a film with a message that they felt all of Chattanooga needed to hear, Stop the Violence. Also this past Summer, kids from the inner city were helped with the math, reading and literacy skills at a summer camp which was sponsored by The Bethlehem Center. WDEF, sponsors a program called Kidcaster where local kids with their parents permission can go to our website and tell why they would like to be a kidcaster and deliver a weather forecast live on TV.. After a child is selected, they, along with their family, can come to the TV station for a tour to see the inner workings of a television station. They then go behind the scenes to observe a newscast as its televised live. The student, observes how the meteorologist gathers his facts looking at long range maps to determine the forecast for our viewing area. The kidcaster, along with the meteorologists assistance, prepare and tape their forecast for the next day. The taped kidcaster segment airs during our 11pm newscast that evening and again the next morning during our morning newscast. Each child receives a personalized Kidcaster Certificate of Achievement and a DVD of their on air kidcaster weather report. This quarter WDEF hosted kidcasters from various schools in our viewing areas including Jasper Elementary, Lookout Valley Elementary, Lookout Mountain Elementary, Nolan Elementary and Westview Elementary School among others. |
