Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. "Culture Click" explores the genesis of - and reasons behind - cultural events that permeate our everyday lives. Host Nzinga Blake opens each episode from her virtual reality set with a list of what's trending on search engines that week. These topics will serve as a jumping-off point for a deep dive into the culture viewers 13-16-year-olds will embrace. Each week Nzinga will analyze and answer the questions that shape our society - using the power and speed of the Internet and user-generated questions and content. Experts in pop culture will join her to add insight and historical perspective. And most importantly, viewers will come away with a week's worth of "aha" moments to share with their friends and family. Six degrees of separation takes on a whole new meaning, and there's no limit to what viewers will learn when they experience "Culture Click." - "Culture Click" was interrupted for three minutes on 1/28/12 for breaking news (manhunt for double-murder suspect).

Question Response
Does the Licensee publicize the existence and location of the station's Children's Television Programming Reports (FCC 398) as required by 47 C.F.R. Section 73.3526(e)(11)(iii)? Yes
Name of children's programming liaison Mary Jones

Email Address mjones@wjbf.com
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. WJBF's on-air talent attends various elementary, middle and high school career and safety fairs throughout the year. Students are also given the opportunity to meet and talk with WJBF Meteorologists during field trips to the station. - During the quarter the WJBF Children First campaign included 5 different Parenting Tip Public Service Announcements: (1) "Show your children how much you care";(2) "Spend quality time with your children"; (3) "Help your children to have confidence"; (4) "Is your child too busy?"; and (5) "How to handle bullying." The Children First activity for the quarter was the Easter Egg Scramble. The event provided a fun-filled day for hundreds of children in the Augusta area and featured inflatables, crafts, and photo opportunities with the Easter Bunny. - After due review of internal station records and documentation provided to us by program suppliers, the licensee hereby certifies that the station fully complied with the FCC's commercial limits in children's programs, as specified at 47 C.F.R. Section 73.670, with respect to all programs specifically designed for children ages 12 and under. - The Station did not broadcast an analog signal during this quarter. The licensee's response to Question 7(b), therefore, assumes that the Station's current main program stream serves as the equivalent to the Station's former analog channel.
