The winners have done noteworthy things, such as organizing charity events, preventing bullying or going out of their way to help a classmate in need. Profiles were broadcast during our newscasts. On Sunday 4-15-18, due to severe weather in our viewing area, we aired a breaking news weather special from 7-8am and in order to still serve our community, we aired our public affairs programming on DT.2 thus preempting childrens programming on this date. As a result of this breaking news, we were unable to reschedule the childrens episodes. Also, during this quarter on Saturday 4-21-18 the NBC network broke into Naturally Danny Seo at 1150AM for coverage of Former First Lady Barbara Bushs funeral. During 3rd quarter of 2018 there will be fourteen Sundays to report childrens programming on both our DT.1 and ME-TV DT.2 channels.
