Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. WHADDYADO is a half-hour weekly educational series designed to educate, inform, inspire and entertain children 16 & under (specific target age is 13-16) about the world around them. Each episode is an educational life-lesson, based in reality, intended to prepare young people for potential situations that could easily crop up at anytime, anywhere. Using a combination of actual dramatic footage, re-enactments, and demonstrations, WHADDYADO provides a compelling look at perilous situations that have occurred in real life. Then, using interviews with the participants and expert instructions, we learn what the proper reaction should be when faced with similar life-threatening circumstances. Also, in an effort to help young people to make the right decision at the right moment, there will be a Moral Dilemma segment featured in some of the episodes. WHADDYADO aired on WUAB's main digital channel in the 4th quarter 2015 with the following two exceptions - On 11/13/15, station experienced a technical difficulty that resulted in a loss of audio from 08:48:00-08:59:00 AM ET during the telecast of WHADDYADO. Program aired in entirety with loss of audio for these 11 minutes. As a result, an additional telecast was scheduled, pre-promoted and was aired on Sat, 11/21/15 from 8:00-8:30AM ET in the "second home" time period. Promotional efforts were done in the form of on-air crawls within all E/I programs that aired daily from 8:30-9:00AM daily beginning 11/18 through 11/20/15. On 12/25/15, WHADDYADO was preempted one-time-only for special Christmas Day holiday programming that aired from 7-9AM ET.

Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. AQUA KIDS, which aired on WUAB's main digital channel throughout the 4th quarter 2015, is a half-hour weekly series that provides core programming in the area of biology and specifically the ecosystem related to the ocean, its tributaries and estuaries. Children can learn about the resources of the oceans and how protection of the oceans is necessary to present and future generations. Not only does the show teach biological topics, but it aims to enrich children's lives by making them aware of future generations, the role they play now, and for generations into the future, with the biggest ecosystem on earth-the oceans. Each episode provides information related to a specific topic and gives an educational approach to understand the topic related to the entire ecosystem of the earth. Each episode is topic-specific. AQUA KIDS uses the technique of near peer mentors i.e., children to teach other children. Each episode employs these mentors - the "Aqua Kids" - who ask questions and experience firsthand the experience of the topic. For example, children might feed Manatees to experience the graceful, gentle nature of the animal and learn about their biology or dig through piles of silt dredged from the ocean depths to look for shark teeth to understand how shark continually grow new teeth and lose old rows of teeth.
