| Include any other comments or information you want the Commission to consider in evaluating your compliance with the Children's Television Act (or use this space for supplemental explanations). This may include information on any other noncore educational and informational programming that you aired this quarter or plan to air during the next quarter, or any existing or proposed non-broadcast efforts that will enhance the educational and informational value of such programming to children. See 47 C.F.R. Section 73.671, NOTES 2 and 3. | We have begun our annual 'Book Breaks', staffers reading at area libraries from June to early August, aimed at helping children avoid the 'summer slide' which would put them behind when they go back to school. This year we're 16 libraries for the free programs. In May we wrapped up this year's weekly CNYCentral Athlete programs, profiling high school students who are standouts in sports but also excelling in academics and community involvement. And, we continue to do station tours, job shadows and internships, aimed at helping young people focus on preparing for careers, not only with technical skills but also with good work habits and workplace readiness. Individually, staffers are involved in coaching, participate in charity events, and sit on boards that work for the welfare and betterment of our young people |
