Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. Dr. Jan (Ya-n) Pol was born in the Netherlands and raised on a family dairy farm. With more than 40 years of veterinary experience, Dr. Pol is a pioneer in treating animals. He began his career working for a local veterinarian in Harbor Beach, Mich. However, eager to begin his own practice, in 1981, Dr. Pol and his wife Diane started their own animal clinic out of their home. The business continued to grow and they, along with their 10 employees, have serviced thousands of patients since their doors opened. Not only the town vet, Dr. Pol is also a family man who kept his family near his passion. His son Charles helped his father as a child in the clinic, and although he didn't love it, he now views his father differently: "My dad is my role model. He grew up on a poor farm in the middle of a different country. He worked hard and he built, like, this huge, I guess you could say a veterinary empire here in the middle of Michigan through nothing but his blood, sweat and tears," says Charles. Specializing in large farm animals, Dr. Pol treats horses, pigs, cows, sheep, alpacas, goats, chickens and even an occasional reindeer. A true friend of the farmer, he works tirelessly to ensure that the diminishing population of family farmers remains in business. And he plays an integral role in keeping farmers' livestock healthy and their businesses profitable. With his thick Dutch accent, signature mustache and vintage 1981 "Back to the Future" DeLorean car, Dr. Pol is nothing short of a local legend..

Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. Elizabeth Stanton's Great Big World - this reality series exposes kids to world geography, history, and cultural diversity through the eyes of its young host and her team of familiar celebrities like Chelsea Staub-Kane and Devon Werkheiser, who traverse multiple continents to explore new places and to help out philanthropic efforts in their host cities. The show is a great introduction for kids to cultural awareness, since it keeps the content light and relatable for young viewers (visiting the Great Wall of China and tasting local seafood, for instance) . . . and being presented by some of their favorite TV personalities doesn't hurt, either. Kids might need a little more explanation when the team's travels reference weighty issues like the Vietnam war, but overall, this is a worthwhile series for curious kids

Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. Rock the Park taps into America's love affair with our national parks. Our hosts, Jack Steward and Colton Smith, come face to face with nature and some of the most awe-inspiring places on earth. The series will inspire Americans to get on the road and remind viewers that the national parks are one of America's greatest national gifts to the world. Jack Steward Jack Steward knew he was destined to visit every national park in America from the time he first laid eyes on a grizzly bear in Yellowstone. Even as a six year old, when his family took their first national park road trip, Jack felt a connection to the extraordinary wild spaces known as the US National Parks and everything he has done since then has been in preparation for a life of exploration. Jack attended college at the University of Montana, because it was in close proximity to several national parks and he pursued a career in television so he could hone his storytelling skills. Jack began work as a production assistant on several travel series, and has served as a story producer, camera operator and editor for many television productions since then. Today, Jack carries a camera wherever he goes and lives in Redondo Beach, California where he is just hours away from dozens of national parks and wilderness areas.
