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. | CORE PROGRAMMING: In the 1st quarter of 2019, NBC continued airing The More You Know Educational/Informational programming block, designed for older adolescent children, ages 13-16. Each of the six shows had a hosted format, featuring non-fiction, informative programming that extends NBCs iconic The More You Know brand to Saturday mornings. The audience viewed inspiring stories about the environment, social change, health and wellness, and community engagement. On October 1, 2018, WRCB-TV launched a new multicast channel affiliated with Light TV. The kid shows are Wimzie's House, targeting children ages 3-5, The Country Mouse & the City Mouse Adventures, targeting children ages 4-9 and The Busy World of Richard Scarry, targeting children ages 2-5. These shows are identified on air as educational and informational with the E/I icon and similarly identified to the national listing services. ION Media Network continued airing their Educational/ Informational programming block designed for children ages 13-16. The audience views programming that promotes a child's active imagination and emotional development. On Friday, January 4, 2019, two of the three E/I programs regularly scheduled on the ION Television network aired without displaying the symbol E/I due to an unforeseen technical issue. The technical issue was identified and corrected. Accordingly, the episodes were rescheduled and re-aired in their entirety with the proper symbol E/I on Friday, January 18, 2019 as follows: Animal Science 10am and 10:30am ET/PT (9:00am and 9:30am CT/MT); Zoo Clues 12:00pm and 12:30pm ET/PT (11:00am and 11:30am CT/MT). |
