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. | Programming that is Education and Information is noted within this report. Our website states that the reports are available on line and in our office. We also air a :10 spot alerting our audience to the fact that the shows are educational and informational and where they can find our reports. Programming that is Educational and Informational is noted within this report. Reports stating this are available on line and in the station. During the second quarter of 2019, WNYT/WNYA was involved in many programs that highlight children and also outreach to children. WNYT/WNYA have produced two large continuous programs that are children related. They are the Athlete of the Week and STEM. ATHLETE OF THE WEEK. During the school year WNYT/WNYA NewsChannel 13 works in conjunction with Fidelis Health Care to highlight exceptional student athletes in the Capital Region. Two students are highlighted each week during the first quarter, 2019. The STEM program includes stories that relate to science, technology, engineering and math. The segments that are produced are targeted to our younger audience and bring forward businesses that are STEM related along with STEM in our daily lives. Tours were given to students from local schools. Our Top Teacher program highlighted teachers of excellence at the start of 2019. The program ended in mid-April. Many students nominate teachers that have taught them through the years. Parents, co-workers and school principles nominate teachers who are making a difference in education. WNYT/WNYA selects 13 teachers from various cities in our viewing area. We highlight teachers who teach every subject, from math to chorus. We also host a program that highlights student volunteers in our community. There are 13 students that are highlighted from March through June, 2019. New non-profit organizations are brought to the forefront each season. These organizations are often not well known. Our viewers learn about them due to the 13 Kids Who Care program. Young viewers are encouraged to volunteer to better our community. |
