Include any other comments or information you want the Commission to consider in evaluating your compliance with the Children's Television Act (or use this space for supplemental explanations). This may include information on any other noncore educational and informational programming that you aired this quarter or plan to air during the next quarter, or any existing or proposed non-broadcast efforts that will enhance the educational and informational value of such programming to children. See 47 C.F.R. Section 73.671, NOTES 2 and 3. We welcome school groups for station tours, and on-air staffers do in-school appearances to read or speak on their jobs. We also attend career-choice fairs for middle- and high schoolers, who are also encouraged to job shadow. We provide internships for college-level students in several areas of our stations' operations. At all levels, we are committed to age-appropriate interactions that encourage skills to help students get job-ready, including reading, math and understanding technology and the social and academic steps in the career planning process. We also discuss social media and possible negative consequences of personal picture posting, for future school and job applications. Some station-wide events, including our Toys for Tots holiday drive, encourage young givers and teach them the importance of life-skills like volunteering and helping others. On-air, we also show 'CNYCentral Athlete' weekly, featuring high school sports stars who are also academic standouts.
