By means of fantasy and fun, Jakers The Adventures of Piggley Winks provides young viewers with an enticing model for learning, growing and being. A little kids world is apt to be replete with challenges and conundrums, as well as enjoyment and satisfaction. How does one deal with the fear engendered by performing in front of ones peers at the school concert, the temptation of playing with a new toy when it is time for homework, the difficulty of finding something to do on a rainy day, or of making a best friend. On an episode by episode basis, Piggley Winks along with his best friends Ferny and Dannan face these challenges and more often overcoming them by means of their own brand of ingenuity and perseverance mixed with an ample dose of joy and humor. As they do so the animal friends point up the fact that it is okay to be fallible in the course of learning. Piggley Ferny and Dannan just like real little kids commonly make mistakes and errors of judgment which at the time may seem monumental but in reality serve as motivators of growth change and true accomplishment.

See 47 C.F.R. Section 73.671, NOTES 2 and 3. KOTV terminated analog service February 17, 2009 and has answered questions 7b and 7c "yes" in order to avoid filing an unnecessary exhibit. Simulcast transmission of KQCW's digital programming is transmitted on KOTV's digital subchannel 6.2 and is identical to the digital programming reported on KQCW's Form 398 Childrens Television Report. KOTV broadcasts News On 6 Now on digital subchannel 6.3 effective April 1, 2011 until further notice. In addition to airing a schedule of educational and informational programming appropriate for children, KOTV serves this segment of the viewing audience in other ways. On-air personnel from KOTV The News On 6 make appearances before children and pre-teens in the community talking about potential careers in broadcasting and what it's like to work at a television station. KOTV also sponsors and supports various community outreach projects aimed at addressing the needs and concerns of children and pre-teens. Travs Wild Weather Camps were held from January 20 - April 27, 2011 taking weather safety tips to 17 communities, 21 elementary schools and over 11,000 children, teachers and parents within our viewing area. The 45 minute program created by Chief Meteorologist Travis Meyer is designed to teach school age children how to be safe during the three main severe weather events in Oklahoma, flooding, lightning and tornadoes. Press releases were sent to all community newspapers in advance of our visits. KOTV produced 15 second POP's after each community visit, provided webpage and slides from each elementary school and aired video on the 6p, 9p and 10p newscasts during the weather segment. In April, KOTV was the television partner for the Tulsa area McReady program, a statewide public education program to provide severe weather information to Oklahoma familes. Partners include McDonalds, National Weather Service, Oklahoma Department of Emergency Management, American Red Cross and others. Chief Meteorologist Travis Meyer and Radar the weather dog visited three area schools as part of a weather safety education program. KOTV aired promos urging people to pick up important weather safety information at McDonalds and a link to the McReady website was posted on Newson6.com. On May 14 KOTV news anchor LeAnne Taylor rode in the Broken Arrow Rooster Days annual parade. Mayfest Food For Kids was held May 19-22, 2011, Tulsa's largest music and arts festival held in downtown Tulsa. This year KOTV teamed up with MidFirst Bank and the Community Food Bank of Eastern Oklahoma to collect money for Food For Kids.

June 3 was News On 6 night at the Drillers baseball game. KOTV teamed up with MidFirst Bank and the Community Food Bank of Eastern Oklahoma and collected money for Food For Kids before the game. Anchor Lori Fullbright participated at the Coin Van and Sports Director John Holcomb threw out the opening pitch. KOTV had a Text and Win for two days and gave away two family four packs of tickets. Lori talked about the event on the air in the Six In The Morning program and invited people out during the 5p newscast. We also used Facebook and Twitter to invite people to come to the game.

A little kids world is apt to be replete with challenges and conundrums, as well as enjoyment and satisfaction. How does one deal with the fear engendered by performing in front of ones peers at the school concert, the temptation of playing with a new toy when it is time for homework, the difficulty of finding something to do on a rainy day, or of making a best friend. On an episode by episode basis, Piggley Winks along with his best friends Ferny and Dannan face these challenges and more often overcoming them by means of their own brand of ingenuity and perseverance mixed with an ample dose of joy and humor. As they do so the animal friends point up the fact that it is okay to be fallible in the course of learning. Piggley Ferny and Dannan just like real little kids commonly make mistakes and errors of judgment which at the time may seem monumental but in reality serve as motivators of growth change and true accomplishment.
