| 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. | WDEF aired PSAs which were of benefit to the youth during the 1st quarter of 2014. A complete listing of the PSAs which aired on 12.1 and 12.2 during this quarter can be found in our public file. The station sponsored several programs which engaged children and one such program is the Golden Apple Program. WDEF News Anchor Joe Legge through on air announcements, solicited students with the permission of their parents to nominate a teacher who has had a positive impact on their life. A teacher was then chosen by a panel of judges based on the students comments and then highlighted along with the nominating student on Tuesdays Newscast at 6, bi-monthly. An example of a Golden Apple winner was John Daum who goes above and beyond his obligations as a teacher. This Central High School teacher cares so much that when one of his students came down with cancer, he shaved his head in support. He didn't stop there, he is now home schooling the student to try to help make sure this Junior student graduates on time. Another initiative sponsored by the station was a news segment called What's Right With Our Schools. WDEF News Anchor John Mercer featured a segment each Monday during the 6pm newscast highlighting educators, students, individuals or community groups which worked with the students and schools in an extraordinary manner and who went above and beyond the norm in helping to educate children through life lessons. An example of this was when History came to life for kids at Nolan Elementary school. An educator from Crossville gave all the students at the school a lesson they won't soon forget. Nolan Elementary PTA Classroom Enrichment Committee arranged for a program with this special history educator who dresses up like "Ben Franklin." The man who portrays "Ben" is Dave Mitchell. He works for an Educational Resources company based in Michigan and travels all over the country to give students a hands on history lesson. WDEF News 12 Anchors also participated in daily book readings at several area schools to celebrate "Read Across Chattanooga" and Dr. Seuss's birthday. This event was to demonstrate to students that reading can be fun and that reading is important to succeed. Some of the schools our anchors interacted with class readings included classes at East Ridge Elementary and Woodstation Elementary Schools. WDEF meteorologists sponsored our Weather In The Classroom initiative. Meteorologists visited classrooms to make a presentation to students on determining weather patterns and on being prepared for dangerous weather situations. Weather presentations to children in the classrooms at several elementary schools included East Lake Elementary, Eastside Elementary, Battle Elementary, Hardy Elementary, Spring Creek Elementary, Lookout Mtn., Elementary and Spring Creek Elementary. |
