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. 13WHAM-TV and WHAM 13.2 run several public service announcements designed to serve the informational needs of children including, but not limited to: parental involvement, drunk driving prevention, mentoring, online safety, anti-drinking, importance of literacy and education: arts, environmental awareness, nutrition, hunger prevention, cultural and racial diversity, fatherhood involvement, autism awareness, and adoption. WHAM-TV's weather department offers behind-the-scenes tours of the weather department to school classes. In addition, station tours are offered only on a special request basis to mainly Cub and Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts. On the tour, they learn about news gathering, weather forecasting, and television production, and see what it looks like on the other side of the screen. 13WHAM-TV produces a weekly public affairs program celebrating cultural diversity. The weekly show and monthly program guides are available on station website 13wham.com. Educators are invited to use the materials in their classrooms. In February, WHAM-TV was a proud participant in "The Drive for Miracles" Telethon, an event to help Rochester's Golisano Children's Hospital build a new hospital and maintain critical care for children from the Rochester community and around the world. WHAM-TV invited viewers throughout the week to help raise donations through a link to the hospital's website. Each day that week leading up to the telethon, 13WHAM News shared stories of families greatly impacted by Golisano Children's Hospital. On Friday, February 14, 2014, 13WHAM News participated live from "The Drive for Miracles" Telethon with coverage from 5 to 9 a.m., 12:00 to 12:30 p.m., and 5:00 to 6:30 p.m. 13WHAM News anchors and reporters were live at the hospital with some of the doctors, nurses, and children and their families helped by the hospital and its staff. More than $328,000 was raised for the hospital, a record-breaking success, and $100,000 more than the previous year.
