See 47 C.F.R. Section 73.671, NOTES 2 and 3. | "WNCF TRANSMITS ON RF CHANNEL 31 BUT IS KNOWN TO ITS VIEWING AUDIENCE AS CHANNEL 32. THE LATTER IS USED IN THIS REPORT TO IDENTIFY THE PROGRAMS AIRING ON EACH OF ITS MAIN AND MULTICAST STREAMS. The station airs two non-core E/I programs on Saturday mornings from 6-7 A.M. No local commercials are placed in any of the syndicated children's programs. Local time is filled with public service announcements targeting the youth, their parents, and care-givers. WNCF aired several news stories that featured, and informed the youth during the quarter. Golden Apple Awards were presented to teachers at Greenville Middle School, McKee Middle School in Montgomery, Banks Primary School in Pike County, Highland Home Elementary School in Highland Home, Autauga County Technology Center, Valley Grand Elementary School in Dallas County, Prattville Primary School, J.E. Terry in Dallas County, and Dalraida Elementary School in Montgomery. The teachers, along with their co-workers and some of their students were interviewed. Many of the teachers were nominated by the students and their parents. Some of the students' comments include "they were failing but are now on the A-B honor roll; the teacher uses interactive hands-on activities to make learning fun; she makes them work hard, and they have a good time; she's a mentor who helps them plan for their futures; she motivates them to do their best; she is teaching them to become teachers and teach others; she brings hands on learning into the classroom and lets her Math class sing to help them remember. She uses motions with a lot of songs, and a lot of things to address all learning styles, so the students can hear it, see it, say it, experience it; she loves them and teaches them everything - baking, crafts, interactive projects, etc." The news also featured stories on the culinary skills of students at a local school; a Career Academy that gave students and teachers the opportunity to talk about their specialized programs; upcoming enrollment for Pre-K and Magnet Schools; an Education Summit where Alabama's Pre-K program was the focus. It is one of the best in the Country, scoring 10 out of 10 for quality Pre-K; one of the State's top 100 schools that scored an A- in Academics, and a B for teachers' overall work; WNCF News Anchors who participated in Read Across America Day; Youth in Government Day that was designed for students to learn about local government and civic engagement. Students in grades 7-12 were selected to fill the Pike Road positions of Mayor and Town Council Members; AMSTI (Alabama Math, Science, Technology Initiative) which is now the largest Math and Science initiative in the world. A local student appeared on the station's Public Affairs Program, and several newscasts after coming up with, and organizing "The Dream Marches On Youth Day of Service", an idea of how youth could be involved in the 50th Anniversary of the Selma-Montgomery March. He found a way for them to do something positive today, but also connect with the history of 50 year ago. His idea drew people from all over the country who came to Montgomery to help clean up, and beautify the trail and homes along the trail, that the marchers took from St. Jude to the Alabama State Capitol. He got corporate sponsors, city and county departments, schools and colleges, even the media (WNCF), and others to partner with him in this day of service project. Many stories on Charter Schools (the Governor has now signed a bill allowing Charter schools to start in the state) were reported on to educate and inform parents and caregivers of the youth in our viewing area. Auditions for the Future Weather Forecasters were held during the quarter, and 12 winners ranging in age from 7 to 12 years old were chosen and given the opportunity to appear with Weather Anchor Elissia Wilson on the Early Morning News program each Friday starting in March and give the weather report.
