Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. Noodle and Doodle is a live-action show geared toward a young pre-school audience ages 2 - 5, hosted by Sean Roach that also blends animation and puppetry into the overall format. Sean drives a double-decker bus into various communities to meet children who have written to him with a problem that they would like to solve using an art and/or a food experience. Sean is accompanied by Noodle, a puppet character and Doodle, a digital character that lives inside a tablet computer, and Doggity, a faithful beagle. Doggity has a mini-show of his own through an animated alter-ego that appears during diversionary segments set in a restaurant kitchen. The show demonstrates how recycled materials can become art and how food, art, and problem solving can be combined to create a fun experience in everyday life. Every episode can be replicated at home with ease by parents and children playing together. Due to NBC Sporting events starting at 1pm or before on Saturday, Noodle and Doodle aired on Sundays seven times during 2nd quarter in secondary time periods. Because of the frequency of the program airing in secondary time periods, station has requested and received network permission to permanently move the program to 11am on Sundays, effective July 7th

Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. Justin Time is an animated show specifically directed to the preschool audience (ages 2-5) and always conveys an embedded lesson; it is possible to understand and manage any problem you have by thinking about it creatively. Justin is a little boy who has two imaginary playmates, Olivia (who meets him on his travels) and Squidgy the sponge (who also lives in Justin's bedroom). When Justin has a problem or doesn't want to do something his mother has suggested he daydreams his way into an adventure that takes him to places all around the world. On these adventures, he meets Olivia who guides him through an experience that demonstrates to Justin how he can solve his problem. The show provides many facts about the context the characters visit while on the adventure, but the central point is to teach a lesson about a social/emotional dilemma universally experienced by preschool children. Due to an NBC Sporting event starting early on Saturdays 6/1 and 6/15, Justin Time aired in its secondary time period - Saturday at 9:30am. The pre-emption and movement was promoted in advance. On June 8th the program was displaced for live sports which aired longer than scheduled. Justin time was rescheduled at 3pm in an expanded block of the children's programming, airing in pattern. In July series moves to 11:30am

Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. Lazy Town is a show featuring the importance of health, fitness, and being good friends. Set in a fantasy world known as Lazy Town, which is populated by inactive residents, we meet a visitor named Stephanie who is determined to coax her friends and relatives into adopting a healthful, active life style. She wins over her new friends, Ziggy, Stingy, Trixie and Pixel, convincing them to leave their gaming consoles and candy stashes at home so they can go outside and play. She persuades her uncle, Mayor Milford Meanswell, and his friend Ms. Busy Body to support her efforts. Robbie Rotten, who lives underground, and is determined to return Lazy Town to its former state of inactivity and quiet, constantly foils the characters' efforts. Coming to the rescue is the athlete Sportacus who lives in a zeppelin-like aircraft and receives signals from the kids or the Mayor whenever they need help. Sportacus has two goals, to keep the peace and to promote healthful, positive living. When Robbie Rotten is discovered and contained through comic pratfalls, he returns to his underground lair and all is well in Lazy Town, until another day and another time when Robbie will rise again. Due to NBC Sports programming starting earlier than normal on 5/4, 6/1 and 6/15, Lazy Town aired on these dates in its secondary time period - Saturdays at 10am. The pre-emptions and movement were promoted in advance. Due to a long running, live sporting event on 6/8 LazyTown was pre-empted and rescheduled at 3:30pm in an expanded block of children's programming running in pattern.

Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. Poppy Cat is based on the Poppy Cat's Adventures book series authored and illustrated by Lara Jones. A narrator, also named Lara, reads a story to her cat in each episode in this educational and informational series designed for a preschool audience. This story stars her Poppy Cat, who envisions and takes his friends on imaginary adventures. The friends are Zuzu, a Dalmatian who zips around on a skateboard; Alma, a southern belle bunny who is ultra-feminine and sweetly dramatic, Mo, a little mouse who tries his best to do as much as everyone else despite his size; Owl, the wise one who is prone to neck rolls and commentary when things irritate him or don't make sense, and the grouchy Egbert, an arrogant and obnoxious badger who refuses to play with the group and invariably attempts to sabotage their adventures. Occasionally Hilda, a forgetful and ditzy pigeon who flies into their adventures, appears to say hello or provide misguided directions to the friends. Once their mission is accomplished, the friends return to their little village and resume their cheerful, active lives. At the conclusion of her story, Lara closes her book and says good-bye to Poppy Cat, who is usually ready for his nap. Due to live sporting event on 6/8, Poppy Cat was rescheduled at 2:30pm as an expansion of the Saturday children's block. Pre-emption and movement was promoted in advance. The last telecast of Poppy Cat was 6/29.

Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. The Chica Show is an educational and informational program for a young pre-school audience, ages 2 to 5, that addresses cognitive reasoning skills and personal interaction to resolve a problem or situation. Chica is a five-year-old "baby" chick who spends her days with her parents in their costume shop, the Coop. The shop's one employee, Kelly, doubles as Chica's nanny and the ensemble is rounded out with Bunji, a large floppy eared rabbit and Stitches, a straw mannequin that sits in the window. In each episode Chica develops or encounters a problem that she cannot immediately resolve. Usually her issues involve impulse control, distractibility, judgment, and inter-personal behaviors. She and Kelly usually work on the problem through an adventure-a fantasy transformation to animation-- where Bunji and Stiches come alive and join Chica and Kelly for the problem solving process. The core educational content is primarily socio-emotional development, and Chica learns how to express herself properly, think before she acts, and interact with others effectively. She often learns that it takes hard work and practice to become proficient at different skills. On 6/8 due to live sports overrun, scheduled program was pre-empted and rescheduled to Saturday, 6/22, at 1:30pm in a secondary time period expansion of the children's program block. Movement was promoted in advance of telecast
