| Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. | Noodle and Doodle is an instructional series that features creating art projects and cooking projects around a specific theme. The show is hosted by Sean, who drives around in a double-decker bus fully equipped with art supplies and a kitchen, all ready for any assignment. The projects encourage parent engagement and often feature families working together to make something for display in the child's home. Sean is accompanied by Doggity, an every-faithful Beagle dog, who transforms into an animated character during interstitial trips to a parallel universe and kitchen full of prank playing animated characters. The art projects typically feature lessons on recycling materials for re-use in making art and always demonstrate that creativity can transform something intended for one purpose into something useful to achieve a completely different goal.

| Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. | Lazy Town promotes fitness and healthful habits for preschool children. It takes place in an imaginary setting, Lazy Town, and most episodes relate children's eating and fitness habits to problem solving in their "real world."

When the kids get into difficulties with Robbie Rotten, it is Sportacus, gymnast/athlete who comes to the rescue from his home in a spaceship that hovers over earth, prepared to answer to any call for help. The ever-present theme of Lazy Town is to eat "sports candy" which consists of fruits and vegetables, get sufficient sleep, and go outside and engage in a wide range of physical activities, from playing games, holding athletic competitions, to building forts and play structures.

| Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. | The Pajanimals are a group of four preschool aged puppets who live together in house with their off-screen mother and father. We meet them in the bedroom, a dormitory of sorts, where they show us their nighttime routine of brushing their teeth and having quiet conversation before falling off to sleep. The quiet time, always turns into a discussion that results in a dream-like adventure to solve a problem, such as overcoming shyness, making a new friend, or dealing with a bully. The adventure takes place in several nighttime dream locales where special friends help them work through the socio-emotional problem of the day. Specific approaches to managing the problem are demonstrated and practiced during the adventure, and the children return home confident, getting ample rest for today and facing their issues tomorrow. In compliance with the Children's Television regulations, "The Pajanimals" features an on-air icon indicating that each program is "educational and informational" for children.

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. | "The More You Know's" comprehensive website (themoreyouknow.com) provides in-depth referral information, in connection with the on-air public service announcements.

The site includes a comprehensive list of the campaign's accolades, including Emmy and Peabody awards. In addition, a behind-the-scenes story with clips from talent interviews can be viewed. Wilmington, NC, was selected as the first United States television market to broadcast entirely in digital. This early transition took place on September 8, 2008. Being within the Wilmington, NC, market, WECT was one of the stations to take part in the early digital transition. On September 8, 2008, WECT ceased its analog signal and converted to digital. Since September 8, 2008 WECT has operated as a digital-only station. This FCC 398 was filled out based on the fact that WECT no longer has any analog programming. Therefore, question 10 reports all of our main digital channel programming, as well as our multi-cast digital channel programming. Also, since WECT ceased analog operations and converted to digital-only operations prior to the start of the reporting period, Questions 7(b) and 7(c) are no longer applicable. On 9/26/11, WECT's digital multi-cast channel changed from WECT Plus, to Bounce Wilmington. On 7/6/13, Tour de France ran over its time, causing a need to make good Justin Time. Due technical difficulties, Justin Time was aired where Chica Show mkgd was scheduled. So the accidental second airing of Justin Time was put in the 398 under Non-Core E/I Programming. Chica Show was madegood the following weekend in its second home and promos were run the week before announcing the change. "Due to the federal government shutdown, the FCC's electronic filing system was not accessible from October 1 to October 16, 2013. The station was not able to work on the quarterly 398 report or post any materials to the station's online public inspection file during the shutdown." |
