Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. This series brings a fresh, engaging, and optimistic perspective to environmental issues through interviews and conversational reportage that is accessible, relevant, and compelling. The energetic and youthful journalist/hosts present stories that promote an action-oriented approach to environmental issues by showcasing examples of creative solutions, many of which are implemented by teenagers themselves, and delivering information that promotes and encourages ethical stewardship of natural resources and the environment. Engaging, upbeat music and eco-friendly facts and tips complement the feature stories. The series relates stories of ordinary people who, by leveraging a bit of creativity and a can-do attitude, have helped address global environmental challenges on a local level. The take-home message for the audience is an empowering one: young people can make an important and significant difference through personal actions to address environmental challenges. The upbeat, journalistic narratives focus on issues of major global environmental significance (resource, energy, and water consumption; environmental toxins; and environmental activism), which complement in the curricula of Advanced Placement Environmental Science and other high school science and social studies classes.

Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. The key educational objective of this program is to familiarize children with the animals of the North American continent and their interaction with other animals and their environments. Throughout the series, emphasis will be placed upon protecting endangered species and the impact that humans have while interacting in their environments. Each episode of the series is specific to a particular animal. Topics include basic food gathering, mating, natural enemies, relationships to other animals, and the interaction of the specific ecology on the survival of the species. Children viewing the program will achieve a greater understanding of nature and specific animal species because of the up-close and detailed photography of the series. Through this understanding, it is hoped children will better relate to the natural environment as it exists in North America and will learn to protect its natural species.

Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. This series brings a fresh, engaging, and optimistic perspective to environmental issues through interviews and conversational reportage that is accessible, relevant, and compelling. The energetic and youthful journalist/hosts present stories that promote an action-oriented approach to environmental issues by showcasing examples of creative solutions, many of which are implemented by teenagers themselves, and delivering information that promotes and encourages ethical stewardship of natural resources and the environment. Engaging, upbeat music and eco-friendly facts and tips complement the feature stories. The series relates stories of ordinary people who, by leveraging a bit of creativity and a can-do attitude, have helped address global environmental challenges on a local level. The take-home message for the audience is an empowering one: young people can make an important and significant difference through personal actions to address environmental challenges. The upbeat, journalistic narratives focus on issues of major global environmental significance (resource, energy, and water consumption; environmental toxins; and environmental activism), which complement in the curricula of Advanced Placement Environmental Science and other high school science and social studies classes.

This information adds to the pool of knowledge necessary to conserve threatened and endangered species. Each week the show will leave its audience inspired by the real-life stories of the featured animals and rescuers and with a fuller understanding of the rich array of sea life with which we share our planet.

Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. This program is a newscast created for and delivered by children. It is hosted by a diverse news team made up of young journalists reporting from a professional news set and from the field on stories of interest and educational value to its audience. The show meets the needs of children whose sophistication and curiosity about their world is motivated by the information explosion. This program is in their voice, delivered eye-to-eye with a sensibility and sense of humor designed to appeal to the audience on its own level. The focus of the program is young people, always letting them tell their stories in their own words. A regular feature each week will come from Children's Express, the international news service that has produced stories for the last 25 years to bring the authentic voices of children and teens to opinion leaders, policymakers, and the general public. The lead story each week will take a child sensitive approach to a serious news topic such as terrorism, bullying and cliques, and the alarming increase of diabetes in children. Other segments will include At the Movies, Superstars, and Kids on the Street.
