| Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. | ON THE SPOT adopts a modified question and answer format familiar to broadcast network viewers, including the targeted age group. The questions fall under curriculum core areas of knowledge in social studies, science, the arts, civics, and mathematics. The format allows for a wide range of topics and allows topics to be blended, which is a serious asset. The integration of core curriculum areas is a traditional goal in education, and On the Spot's energetic blend is a great example of taking curriculum areas out of their separate boxes and making them a uniform illustration of why knowledge can be important. The series also succeeds in modeling individuals of all ages, ethnicities, and both genders as successful, knowledgeable individuals. Although there are right and wrong answers, there are right answers from people that every audience member can identify with. This is of too-often misunderstood importance for the targeted 13-16 year-old age group. Identifying with a successful representative of one's own group is extremely important, but it is also very important to learn respect for those outside your own group - and this series does that very well. |

| Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. | The mission of TEEN KIDS' NEWS is to produce a weekly news program that will provide information and news to kids in a manner that is compelling as well as highly entertaining. It is designed to appeal to the audience on its own level. The focus of the program is young people, always letting them tell their stories in their own words. The large, diverse news anchor team will be unique in television and have great appeal to kids who will identify and emulate them. This program will serve the audience in a way that will make a real difference in their lives. It will insert the clear voice of the kid into the adult-dominated media and provide a unique perspective to the news that is not currently available on network television. This is a unique way of doing business in the crowded world of television news. There is no current news programming that features actual kids reporting to other kids on television. There have been shows by adults working with kids but none that a young audience can literally identify with. TKN will fill that void and become the first program in history that will develop the next generation of news viewers. The 101 year old educational publisher will contribute editorial support and script editing to make stories more age appropriate. Weekly Reader Polls will be featured on the program as well as content from their magazines which reach 11 million children. News Scripts will posted on web site to allow teachers to use them to conduct mock newscasts in the classroom. A regular feature each week will come from Children's Pressline, the international news service that has produced stories for the last 25 years to bring the authentic voices of children and teens to opinion leaders, policymakers and the general public. |

The large, diverse news anchor team will be unique in television and have great appeal to kids who will identify and emulate them. This program will serve the audience in a way that will make a real difference in their lives. It will insert the clear voice of the kid into the adult-dominated media and provide a unique perspective to the news that is not currently available on network television. This is a unique way of doing business in the crowded world of television news. There is no current news programming that features actual kids reporting to other kids on television. There have been shows by adults working with kids but none that a young audience can literally identify with. TKN will fill that void and become the first program in history that will develop the next generation of news viewers. The 101 year old educational publisher will contribute editorial support and script editing to make stories more age appropriate. Weekly Reader Polls will be featured on the program as well as content from their magazines which reach 11 million children. News Scripts will posted on web site to allow teachers to use them to conduct mock newscasts in the classroom. A regular feature each week will come from Children's Pressline, the international news service that has produced stories for the last 25 years to bring the authentic voices of children and teens to opinion leaders, policymakers and the general public. |
