Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. Americans are famously terrible about geography. The last Roper Geographic Literacy Poll (2006) showed only half of young Americans could identify New York State on a map. Less than that could find Ohio. Perhaps part of the problem was that there was no television program that entertained while educating about the nations states. There is now! STATE TO STATE from Bellum Entertainment blends maps, history and facts with eye-catching visuals and clever narratives that move quickly through some of the very interesting geography in our diverse country. Target audience for tone, program content and learning concepts is middle and high school (ages 13-16).

ON THE SPOT boldly lays claim to a wide range of educational and informational topics: transportation, geography, technology, culture, environment, government, money, sports, food, art, history, music, science, math, health and language. It succeeds in making a program that is essentially information based engaging to the targeted 13-18 year old audience. It pulls the viewer in with information reasonably covered at the secondary school level, but is a long way from the didactic presentation in a textbook. Mainly the show is entertaining; the mood, tone, and open quality makes viewing it as much fun as watching a good game show. But it moves faster than a game show; perfect for young viewers in the mid 21st Century.
