THE LATTER IS USED IN THIS REPORT TO IDENTIFY THE PROGRAMS AIRING ON EACH OF ITS MAIN AND MULTICAST STREAMS. WNCF airs two non-core programs each Saturday morning, and one on Sunday morning. As a rule no local commercials are placed in any E/I or non-core programming that airs on the station.

They are nominated by their peers, the public, their students, and parents. Students interviewed during the presentations of the award are featured on WNCF's early and late newscasts. This is a great opportunity for the students to appear on television. Teachers in Crenshaw, Wilcox, Lowndes, Butler, Clark, Covington, and Montgomery Counties were honored this quarter. Some of the comments from their students include, "she treats us like her own children; she thinks of fun ways to boost our learning; she helps with math when we are having trouble; she is loving, caring, kind, brilliant, hardworking, and makes us feel special; she is a fun teacher; she teaches us to succeed and wants us to be better people; she tells hilarious jokes and makes us laugh real hard; she helps them learn and tells them about her family; she helps them to not be sad and to feel better about themselves, and she loves us and we love her". There was also a news segment about the Montgomery County Spelling Bee and the student who won the title for the third year in a row. News anchors read to students at different schools in the River Region during Read Across America Week in honor of Dr. Seuss's birthday. Future Weather Forecasters continued to appear on Alabama News Rising each Friday with our Meteorologist to give the weather for that day, along with the coming week's forecast. This year, the Future Forecaster hung out on the set, talked and interacted with the Anchors of the morning show, and picked the name of the birthday cake for that day. This is an even greater opportunity for the students to appear on television. Children from different elementary schools in the River Region gave the Pledge of Allegiance each morning during Alabama News rising. WNCF will continue to provide the best E/I programming that is available for the youth in the River Region. |
