Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. Fat Albert, which airs on our second digital channel, is an animated series created, produced and hosted by educator and comedian Bill Cosby, who also lent his voice to a number of characters in the series, including Fat Albert himself. The show, based on Cosby's remembrances of his childhood gang, centered on Albert (known for his catchphrase "Hey hey hey!") and his friends. Every episode has an educational lesson emphasized by Cosby's live-action segments, and the gang would usually gather in their North Philadelphia junkyard to play a rock song on their cobbled-together instruments at the end of each show. Fat Albert qualifies as core programming because every episode teaches a life lesson that appeals to kids aged 7-12, the implied ages of the characters in the show. It also reflects Bill Cosby's strong educational focus that emphasizes taking responsibility for one's actions and being held accountable.

Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. Fat Albert, which airs on our second digital channel, is an animated series created, produced and hosted by educator and comedian Bill Cosby, who also lent his voice to a number of characters in the series, including Fat Albert himself. The show, based on Cosby's remembrances of his childhood gang, centered on Albert (known for his catchphrase "Hey hey hey!") and his friends. Every episode has an educational lesson emphasized by Cosby's live-action segments, and the gang would usually gather in their North Philadelphia junkyard to play a rock song on their cobbled-together instruments at the end of each show. Fat Albert qualifies as core programming because every episode teaches a life lesson that appeals to kids aged 7-12, the implied ages of the characters in the show. It also reflects Bill Cosby's strong educational focus that emphasizes taking responsibility for one's actions and being held accountable.
