| Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. | This program is about a young boy, Tom, who enters the enchanted and magical kingdom of Treetopolis. He and his friends in Treetopolis invariably run into a problem or disaster that needs fixing. Tom then calls upon viewers to do original dance moves that will bring him "Big World" magic, so he and his friends can resolve the challenge of the day. The dance moves also get the viewer to exercise. The educational messages of the program reinforce positive socio-emotional content, using examples to model being loyal to your friends, knowing how to ask for help, doing the right thing rather that what is convenient, making an effort to share rather than be selfish, and relying on teamwork to accomplish a goal. This program aired on station's main digital channel 1. |
