Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. Mystery Hunters is an excellent example of a children's program that is innovative and empowering. Through critical observation, analytical thinking and scientific testing, the series encourages children to question the world around them. Through both the travel aspect and investigation of ancient myths and mysteries, there is a profound focus on history, culture, geography and international customs. The Mystery Hunters are Araya and Christina, regular kids with inquisitive minds, who travel the globe to investigate the sites and delve into the tales which have baffled people throughout the ages - looking for the Loch Ness Monster, unraveling a smelly mummy, searching for Princess Anastasia, and learning the true story of King Tut. Armed with video cameras and their instincts, they gather facts and meet the experts, debunking common myths and offering explanations for legends, spooky stories, and unexplained phenomena. They use critical thinking and scientific reasoning to show that things are not always what they seem. Back at the Discovery Mystery Lab, Doubting Dave, the resident skeptical scientist, challenges viewers to send in their own mysteries, and then tackles the questions with experiments and logical explanations.

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. On Sunday, 11/27/16 and 12/4/16, WBBZ-TV 67-2 experienced satellite communication problems with the This-TV Network. As a result, children's programming did not air as scheduled from 10am-1pm on Saturday, 11/27/16 and from 10:00-11:00am on Saturday, 12/4/16/ WBBZ-TV 67-2 made up for this deficiency by airing a marathon of the syndicated E/I program "Career Day" from 9:00am-12:00pm on Saturday, 12/10/16 and from 1:00-2:00pm on Sunday, 12/11/16. WBBZ-TV 67-2 ran promotional announcements throughout the week alerting viewers to the scheduling of this special E/I programming. WBBZ-TV 67-1 ran special holiday programming on Christmas Day, 12/25/16 - preempting our regularly scheduled programs, including E/I programming. To make up for this preemption, WBBZ-TV 67-1 aired a marathon of syndicated E/I program "Career Day" on 12/24/16/ WBBZ-TV 67-1 alerted viewers to the change immediately prior to E/I programming the preceding week (12/18/16) and throughout the week. WBBZ-TV does not broadcast in analog; therefore, the answers to Question 7(b) and (c) are inapplicable.

Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. Mystery Hunters is an excellent example of a children's program that is innovative and empowering. Through critical observation, analytical thinking and scientific testing, the series encourages children to question the world around them. Through both the travel aspect and investigation of ancient myths and mysteries, there is a profound focus on history, culture, geography and international customs. The Mystery Hunters are Araya and Christina, regular kids with inquisitive minds, who travel the globe to investigate the sites and delve into the tales which have baffled people throughout the ages - looking for the Loch Ness Monster, unraveling a smelly mummy, searching for Princess Anastasia, and learning the true story of King Tut. Armed with video cameras and their instincts, they gather facts and meet the experts, debunking common myths and offering explanations for legends, spooky stories, and unexplained phenomena. They use critical thinking and scientific reasoning to show that things are not always what they seem. Back at the Discovery Mystery Lab, Doubting Dave, the resident skeptical scientist, challenges viewers to send in their own mysteries, and then tackles the questions with experiments and logical explanations.
