See 47 C.F.R. Section 73.671, NOTES 2 and 3. During the second quarter, WWHO addressed the educational and informational needs of children through a variety of programming, outreach activities and sponsorship of local children's events and fundraisers. WWHO hosted its annual financial literacy initiative entitled Get Real. The program's primary focus is to teach students how to write checks, balance a checkbook and live within a specific salary. At the start of the program, participating students were assigned a career, a corresponding salary and a number of children. The students were coached on typical expenses incurred while raising a family and how to live within their means. In addition, WWHO airs a series of PSA's designed to teach children about the world around them, including respecting the environment, the dangers of drugs and alcohol and the importance of family values. Many of these PSA's are aired during the Saturday Morning Teen Block, One Magnificent Morning, when children and teens are most likely to be watching the station. Finally, the station accepts requests for station tours.
