Additional content on the site includes public service announcements, behind the scenes videos a general overview, and a talent directory and a list of campaigns accolades such as the prestigious Emmy and Peabody awards. On 3/4/2017 Voyager and Wilderness Vet were preempted due to live coverage of the local spelling bee. As indicated in the Core Programming Summary section of this report, Voyager and Wilderness Vet were rescheduled to 3/5/2017 at 1030 and 1100am. As a result of an error, repeat episodes of core programs Dylan Dreyer and Danny Seo aired in the rescheduled time slots where Voyager and Wilderness Vet were supposed to air and the station is counting them towards the core programming total for the quarter. The core programming average set forth in the Digital Core Programming section of this report takes into account the fact that First Quarter 2017 only had 12 Saturdays. Because all of the core programming for the multicast channels on this station aired on Saturdays, the multicast calculation in the Digital Core Programming section is artificially low as a result of the calendrical quirk. |
