In addition to the educational or informational programs listed in this report, the station broadcast the following programs specifically designed for children ages twelve #12# and under that were not "educational or informational": none. On June 12, 2009, the station completed the transition to digital television. After that date, the responses to Question 4 apply solely to the station's primary digital program stream. The Station did not broadcast an analog signal during this quarter.

Children sat on stage in the Peanut Gallery, thus making this show a forerunner of interactive programming we enjoy today. The primary value of the series is to educate and entertain elementary school-aged children. In addition, both older children and monitoring adults will find this series amusing and quite charming as Howdy Doody is a timeless character who has an interactive quality.
