Five animal characters and one three-eyed octopus of unknown derivation populate the station.

While these predicaments take place in a fantasy environment, the issues and resolutions resonate for a preschool audience. Through comedy and zippy action, our target audience sees how the characters learn lessons for practical living such as how to keep track of things that belong to you, practice good habits, clean up when you've made a mess, rebound from a failure or an embarrassing incident, or resist the urge to blame others for your mistakes. This quarter young viewers learn if you resent the task you've been given to perform you may end up making things hard for everyone else in the group; you should always consider how others feel because your ideas are not the only ones that have merit; there is more to life than winning a contest; always work together to clean up right after making a mess - waiting makes the work even harder to do; and faster isn't always better - take your time and do it right.

| Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. | Earth to Luna is a Brazilian animated series about 12 year old girl, Luna, who loves science and the outdoors. There is nothing she doesn't question, and she shares everything she learns with her little brother, Jupiter, her parents or her friend Alice, and Clive, her pet ferret. In each episode Luna and her brother develop questions about whatever they find curious, e.g., what goes on inside the snails' shell?" or "Why does a firefly blink?" In pursuit of answers, Luna, Jupiter and Clive go off on an imaginary adventure to do their research. They transform into the object or creature they are studying so they can personally experience the answers to their questions. When the threesome is finished with the "field trip" Luna summarizes everything they have learned with a show and a song. Lessons learned this quarter include butterflies, how they taste with their feet and also how they spread pollen from flower to flower with their feet; stars don't twinkle, it's refraction as their light changes direction as it hits the Earth's atmosphere; the heat from the sun turns water into vapor - the vapor turns into clouds and then rain; density, not weight or size, determines whether something will sink or float in water; the moon's phases result from its orbit around the Earth and how the sun shines on it differently; and ants are able to carry more than their body weight because they are very small and light, plus teamwork enables them to collectively carry a lot.

| Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. | Poppy Cat is based on the Poppy Cat's Adventures book series authored and illustrated by Lara Jones and targets a preschool audience ages 2 to 5 years old. A narrator, also named Lara, reads a story to her cat in each episode. This story stars the narrator's own Poppy Cat, who envisions and takes his friends on imaginary adventures. The friends are Zuzu, a Dalmatian who zips around on a skateboard; Alma, a southern belle bunny who is ultra-feminine and sweetly dramatic, Mo, a little mouse who tries his best to do as much as everyone else despite his size; Owl, the wise one who is prone to neck rolls and commentary when things irritate him or don't make sense, and the grouchy Egbert, an arrogant and obnoxious badger who refuses to play with the group and invariably attempts to sabotage their adventures. Occasionally Hilda, a forgetful and ditzy pigeon who flies into their adventures, appears to say hello or provide misguided directions to the friends. Once their mission is accomplished, the friends return to their little village and resume their cheerful, active lives.
