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. "Edgemont" has the goal to entertain, inform and educate viewers between the ages of 13 and 16 about issues that arise in school and at home. Storylines focus on the social and emotional challenges that every secondary school student faces, from forming and maintaining friendships and romantic attachments, to ethical and moral choices and family relationships. The programs illustrate the possible consequences of choices these viewers may face, and these outcomes provide "life lessons" that are shown plainly to the teen audience. "Edgemont" also touches on significant societal issues and can complement classroom discussions on these topics. These issues range from considerations of diversity, racism and sexual identity, to divorce, teen pregnancy, bullying and alcohol and substance abuse. "Edgemont" further benefits its viewers by opening dialogue with peers and potentially also parents and educators regarding the topics portrayed in the series.

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. This report is being filed as an amended report. The original report was timely filed on October 10, 2014. Due to miscommunication, however, the report as filed then inadvertently omitted to include the programming of the to multicast subchannels, which began operation carrying Grit and Escape network programming effective August 18, 2014. Prior to that time, KJWP did not broadcast any programming streams other than its main programming stream, and the person who prepared the Form 398 report was unaware of the additional programming until after the report was filed. It is clear, however, that KJWP complied with Commission policies as to the airing of core children's programming on both its main programming stream and its two multicast subchannels, and the slight delay in reporting on the additional programming streams aired for only the last six weeks of the quarter - less than half of one quarter - is unlikely to have caused any harm.

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.
