Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. | Pearlie is an animated comedy series based on the children's book series Pearlie the Park Fairy by Wendy Harmer. Pearlie is an optimistic, light-hearted fairy who sees the good in everybody, but often gets into situations because her desire to help is larger than her capacity to deliver. Aimed for an audience within the 4-8 year old range, Pearlie focuses on the importance of following the rules, using good judgment and learning how to avoid getting into trouble. Since Pearlie was appointed by Fairy Head Quarters (HQ) to keep Jubilee Park in sparkling order she has constant challenges with her basic goal of keeping everyone happy and making sure the park functions smoothly. Pearlie's nemesis and cousin Saphira, often takes advantage of Pearlie's good nature which requires that Pearlie must also frequently outwit the park bully. In each episode, we see Pearlie approach new tasks and problems with a great deal of enthusiasm, but without the organization required to get the job done. Through plot developments and with the assistance of her friends, Opal and Jasper, she learns what to do and what not to do in each situation so the park can be restored to order. Program aired on the KING 5.1 main digital program stream. |

Section 73.671, NOTES 2 and 3. | ADDITIONAL PROGRAMMING WHICH SERVES THE EDUCATIONAL AND INFORMATIONAL NEEDS OF CHILDREN 16 AND UNDER: Airdate: 10/9/11 & 11/12/11 (KING 5.1) Time: 11:00am (10/9); 9:30pm (11/12) Duration: 30 minutes BEYOND THE FORECAST: TRACKING THE STORM -- the KING 5 Weather team takes a close look at several new technologies that will help improve forecasts in the Northwest, including a new coastal radar that will provide a better picture of approaching storms; a network of real-time weather instruments that provide valuable information; and a new KING 5 First Alert Weather Center. Climatologists share their early predictions of what to expect this weather. Airdate: 11/29/11 Time: 7:30pm Duration: 30 minutes BEYOND THE FORECAST: NORTHWEST SNOW -- This weather special looks at snow in our region -- what generates snow in the Northwest; why there are so many winter microclimates in Western Washington; the risks for avalanches; and the new efforts underway to protect roads and backcountry skiers. Ride along with troopers and snow plow drivers through the mountain passes, get the outlook for snow this winter, and go snow camping with Jeff Renner. NON-BROADCAST ENHANCEMENT EFFORTS ON KING-DT 5.1 FIRST ALERT SCHOOL NET: More than 100 Washington schools (elementary, jr. high and high school) are now an important part of KING 5's weather reporting. The weather network consists of computerized weather stations located at schools that calculate wind speed, precipitation, temperature, and other basic weather information. These weather stations are on-line with KING 5's weather system and the National Weather Service, and provide the most accurate and current weather information available in Washington State. First Alert School Net reports are included in each KING 5 newscast. The School Net is of great educational benefit as a hands on learning opportunity. In the classroom, students use the weathernet stations to learn about weather metrics and incorporate meteorology into their science curriculum. They can bring weather forecasting to their own neighborhoods. |

Pearlie is an optimistic, light-hearted fairy who sees the good in everybody, but often gets into situations because her desire to help is larger than her capacity to deliver. Aimed for an audience within the 4-8 year old range, Pearlie focuses on the importance of following the rules, using good judgment and learning how to avoid getting into trouble. Since Pearlie was appointed by Fairy Head Quarters (HQ) to keep Jubilee Park in sparkling order she has constant challenges with her basic goal of keeping everyone happy and making sure the park functions smoothly. Pearlie's nemesis and cousin Saphira, often takes advantage of Pearlie's good nature which requires that Pearlie must also frequently outwit the park bully. In each episode, we see Pearlie approach new tasks and problems with a great deal of enthusiasm, but without the organization required to get the job done. Through plot developments and with the assistance of her friends, Opal and Jasper, she learns what to do and what not to do in each situation so the park can be restored to order.
