| Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. | Chica is a five-year-old "baby" chick who spends her days with her parents in their costume shop, the Coop. The shop's one employee, Kelly, doubles as Chica's nanny, and the ensemble is rounded out with Bunji, a large floppy-eared rabbit, and Stitches, a straw mannequin that sits in the window. In each episode, Chica develops or encounters a problem that she cannot immediately resolve. Usually her issues involve impulse control, distractibility, judgment, and inter-personal behaviors. She and Kelly usually work on the problem through an adventure--a fantasy transformation to animation--where Bunji and Stiches come alive and join Chica and Kelly for the problem-solving process. The core educational content is primarily socio-emotional development, and Chica learns how to express herself properly, think before she acts, and interact with others effectively. She often learns that it takes hard work and practice to become proficient at different skills. Main digital channel. |

They reside primarily in their bedroom, a dormitory of sorts, where they complete their nighttime routine of brushing teeth and conversing quietly before falling to sleep. The quiet time always turns into a discussion that results in a dream-like adventure to solve a problem, such as overcoming shyness, making a new friend, or dealing with a bully. The adventure takes place in several nighttime dream locales where special friends help them work through the social/emotional problem of the day. Specific approaches to managing the problem are demonstrated and practiced throughout the adventure. The children return home in time to get ample rest, confident about facing their issues when they awaken the following day. Main digital channel. |

See 47 C.F.R. Section 73.671, NOTES 2 and 3. | See public file for public service announcements designed specifically for children that aired this quarter. It was necessary to reschedule certain shows this quarter due to conflicts with live network sports and/or breaking news interrupts. On Saturday and Sunday March 23 and 24, due to a Me-TV network technical issue, the E/I logo failed to display during all E/I programming on the station's Me-TV multicast channel. Each Me-TV E/I program that was affected on March 23 and 24 was re-aired with the E/I logo on March 29 and 30 in a "second home" time slot, and such re-airings were promoted and publicized in advance. For simplicity, we are not reporting this situation as a "preemption"/rescheduling situation in Item 10. |
