Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. Animal Atlas continues its tradition as a series that blends animal images with information on a wide range of life science issues in a manner that is entertaining and clever. The episodes combine facts, comparisons, and reflections on broad concepts with an engaging narration that targets the 13 to 16 year old age range in both vocabulary and interest level. The series is rich with interesting details that support examination and curiosity.The program maintains educational integrity while remaining entertaining to its target age group with such devices as intercutting facial close ups of a gorilla and a chimp as reaction shots, a narration that often addresses animals instead of the human audience, and a wonderfully whimsical musical score. Visuals, not facts, lead the content. The use of clear and colorful graphics is excellent as support for concept clarity. Size comparisons are done in silhouette, typical in state adopted textbooks and the global map with highlighted ranges elephant species is necessary for geographic context at the 13 to 16 year old age range. Additionally, there is a wide range of visuals that support viewer interest from underwater photography to close ups of animal morphology and an editing style that includes fast cuts and split screens to better make comparative points. The compare and contrast method of looking at mammals, lizards, invertebrates, and extinct species, while educationally sound, is kept entertaining with humor and an irreverent tone "perfect, again, for the target age. This blend of authentic educational value with target-age entertainment is typical of the Animal Atlas series. The entertainment value of the series may make the educational value nearly invisible to the viewer, but it is there.

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. WSJV launched a multicast programming service on July 5, 2011. While multiple children's E/I programs aired on both the main program stream and the multicast program stream, the station has not exceeded the 50% repeat limit in making its calculations in Items 7(a) and 8(b). From a mathmatical standpoint, the station "counted" three programs (Jack Hanna Into the Wild; Pets TV; and Teen Kids News) as having aired on both the primary and multicast program streams, as is permissible under the 50% repeat limit. The remaining programs that aired on both channels (Wild About Animals; Awesome Adventures; and Animal Exploration with Jarod Miller) were only counted for one or the other program streams and not for both.
