Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. Wild America is targeted to children ages 13-16. The key educational objective of the program is to familiarize children with the animals of the North American continent and their interaction with other animals and their environment. Throughout the series emphasis will be placed upon protecting endangered species and the impact that humans have while interacting in their environment. Each episode of the series will be specific to a particular animal. Topics will range from basic food gathering, mating, natural enemies, relationships to other animals, and the interaction of the specific ecology on the survival of the species. We expect the children viewing the program will achieve a greater understanding of nature and specific animal species because of the up-close and detailed photography of the series. Through this understanding, it is hoped children will better relate to the natural environment as it exists in North America and learn to protect its natural species.

Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. The childrens television show Mustard Pancakes takes place in the comfortable home of singing/storytelling grandmother Courtney Campbell. Courtney shares her home with four kind-hearted and child-like puppet characters: Oogleberry Ink Dog, a scruffy and thoughtful dog; Tiny Tina Ten Toes, a free spirited beagle who loves to dance; Mo, an innocent and playful Chocolate Labrador; and Mr. D, a slightly self-absorbed cat. Combining the art of storytelling and the element of song, the series presents everyday situations in an age-appropriate way to help children learn about solving lifes little problems. Education consultant Shalom Fisch, Ph.D., who was a consultant for "Sesame Street," helped develop the educational goals for "Mustard Pancakes." Each episode of "Mustard Pancakes begins with a situation or problem that is affecting one or more members of the household. The storyline is developed through communication between the puppets and Courtney, until the whole thing reaches a point where everyone needs to take time for a story. Courtney generally begins with a personal story about her life, which she relates to the current conundrum the family is facing. Following her story, the puppets participate by acting out a story also based on the recurrent theme, and Courtney sings a song related to the story. Through the stories and discussions, the puppets are able to resolve the situation or problem using what they have learned. At the end of the day, Oogleberry summarizes the lesson of the day as he writes in his journal. The episode then ends at the round table, where Courtney opens a package she's received containing something interesting that pertains to the story of the day. After pointing out the place of the packages origin on a globe, Courtney holds up a book about the place and encourages kids to read and learn more.

Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. ECO COMPANY is a teen-hosted program produced in the San Francisco Bay Area that looks at the different ways that people are living green and working to protect the planet. The four reporters/hosts -- Jordan Fowler, Jessica Mann, Adam Courtin, and Brendan Young -- profile individuals and organizations committed to environmental issues. They also report on the latest recycling and nature conservation efforts and advances in renewable energies and carbon footprint-reducing technology and offer advice on how to be more eco-wise while performing daily activities. The show also includes "eco bytes" (bits of trivia related to environmental issues) and video footage uploaded by teen viewers to the show's website. This kid-friendly series uses peer reporting to address various environmental issues from a youthful point of view. By doing so, it enthusiastically encourages young adults to become more proactive about environmentalism rather than just talking about the importance of living green. It also stresses the positive impact that young people's efforts, no matter how small they might seem, can have on the larger world around them. While the show is geared toward teens, its message about having a greener conscience is one that viewers of all ages can potentially appreciate. Though some kids might not get too excited about watching a show that's more educational than entertaining, others will be inspired by the show's call to action. And watching real teens work as environmental reporters may even prove inspirational to some aspiring young journalists.

Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. ECO COMPANY is a teen-hosted program produced in the San Francisco Bay Area that looks at the different ways that people are living green and working to protect the planet. The four reporters/hosts -- Jordan Fowler, Jessica Mann, Adam Courtin, and Brendan Young -- profile individuals and organizations committed to environmental issues. They also report on the latest recycling and nature conservation efforts and advances in renewable energies and carbon footprint-reducing technology and offer advice on how to be more eco-wise while performing daily activities. The show also includes "eco bytes" (bits of trivia related to environmental issues) and video footage uploaded by teen viewers to the show's website. This kid-friendly series uses peer reporting to address various environmental issues from a youthful point of view. By doing so, it enthusiastically encourages young adults to become more proactive about environmentalism rather than just talking about the importance of living green. It also stresses the positive impact that young people's efforts, no matter how small they might seem, can have on the larger world around them. While the show is geared toward teens, its message about having a greener conscience is one that viewers of all ages can potentially appreciate. Though some kids might not get too excited about watching a show that's more educational than entertaining, others will be inspired by the show's call to action. And watching real teens work as environmental reporters may even prove inspirational to some aspiring young journalists.

Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. Wild America is targeted to children ages 13-16. The key educational objective of the program is to familiarize children with the animals of the North American continent and their interaction with other animals and their environment. Throughout the series emphasis will be placed upon protecting endangered species and the impact that humans have while interacting in their environment. Each episode of the series will be specific to a particular animal. Topics will range from basic food gathering, mating, natural enemies, relationships to other animals, and the interaction of the specific ecology on the survival of the species. We expect the children viewing the program will achieve a greater understanding of nature and specific animal species because of the up-close and detailed photography of the series. Through this understanding, it is hoped children will better relate to the natural environment as it exists in North America and learn to protect its natural species.

Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. The childrens television show Mustard Pancakes takes place in the comfortable home of singing/storytelling grandmother Courtney Campbell. Courtney shares her home with four kind-hearted and child-like puppet characters: Oogleberry Ink Dog, a scruffy and thoughtful dog; Tiny Tina Ten Toes, a free spirited beagle who loves to dance; Mo, an innocent and playful Chocolate Labrador; and Mr. D, a slightly self-absorbed cat. Combining the art of storytelling and the element of song, the series presents everyday situations in an age-appropriate way to help children learn about solving lifes little problems. Education consultant Shalom Fisch, Ph.D., who was a consultant for "Sesame Street," helped develop the educational goals for "Mustard Pancakes." Each episode of "Mustard Pancakes begins with a situation or problem that is affecting one or more members of the household. The storyline is developed through communication between the puppets and Courtney, until the whole thing reaches a point where everyone needs to take time for a story. Courtney generally begins with a personal story about her life, which she relates to the current conundrum the family is facing. Following her story, the puppets participate by acting out a story also based on the recurrent theme, and Courtney sings a song related to the story. Through the stories and discussions, the puppets are able to resolve the situation or problem using what they have learned. At the end of the day, Oogleberry summarizes the lesson of the day as he writes in his journal. The episode then ends at the round table, where Courtney opens a package she's received containing something interesting that pertains to the story of the day. After pointing out the place of the packages origin on a globe, Courtney holds up a book about the place and encourages kids to read and learn more.
