Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. Animal Atlas is an entertaining, informative, and educational series geared toward the age group of 13 to 16. To summarize, the program in general focuses on Life Science with underlying science content standards addressed. The content, like the tone of the narration, is engaging, challenging, and avoids condescension. It manages to pack a great deal of educational information into a narrative theme that will hold young viewer's interest. Within the episode "30 MPH," (title chosen as the demarcation for exceptional animal speed), information is included on animal weight, animal behavior, animal social characteristics, and habitat adaptation in addition to the expected data on speed. Speed facts are grouped in meaningful ways. Speed champions in water, on land, and in the air are listed in addition to the overall winner (the Peregrine Falcon). Further, categories of two-legged, four-legged, and species are differentiated, as is human speed, which is effectively used as a point of comparison. The format supports the educational content. The editing style of quick cuts emphasizing high-interest visuals is well suited to the 13-16 year-old age group. The animal world presents a dazzling variety of fur, faces, body types, and movements and a welcome number of these are included. The visual elements alone present a wonderful tour of animal morphology and the emphasis on color, shapes, and faces will appropriately hold attention as the narrative delivers educational information. The vocabulary will stretch the knowledge base, and potentially new terms as "brachiating", "ungulates", are always introduced in context with supporting information ("ungulates, or hoofed animals...") as well as visual articulation. This is a very effective way to deliver educational content.

Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. MLB Player Poll will serve the educational and informational needs of teenagers by providing insight into the opinions and perspectives of Major League Baseball players. Specifically, the 2012 season of MLB Player Poll will educate young viewers on how the game of baseball is played and provide instructions regarding the techniques that successful players use. The show will also glean insight into players' preferences in areas outside of baseball with topics like "What Career Interests You After You Retire from Baseball?," or "What Is Your Favorite City To Play In?" or "What Player From History Would You Most Like To Watch/Play For/Play Against?" In addition, MLB Player Poll will provide examples of healthy debate, expressing an opinion using supporting evidence and analyzing statistics to confirm or refute a previous held belief. The results of the poll question that will serve as the heart of each episode will be represented graphically using traditional charts and graphs in a manner designed to help teenagers process similar information they will encounter in newspapers, magazines and textbooks. Finally, the emphasis on physical education in each episode of MLB Player Poll will inspire young viewers to get off the couch, go outside and exercise. MLB Productions, with continued guidance and advice from NASPE (National Association for Sport and Physical Education), will strive to make every episode of MLB Player Poll meet the FCC's E/I standards for young adult programming. The program is regularly scheduled and airs between the hours of 7:00 am and 10:00 pm.
