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.

The station has continued to air PSAs for local and national organizations serving the interests of children and families, including those from "The Track Smart Campaign reminding viewers that being railroad safe is more than just smart, it's the law;" Champions Against Bullying Campaign "Too Late" creates awareness of the effects of bullying; Prevention Campaign "Fish" motivates parents of asthmatic children to learn how to prevent asthma attacks and avoid the emergency room." We also reported on a change to a common birth procedure that could may help improve motor and social skills when the child gets older, and exposed common household pesticides have a link to boys diagnosed with ADHD, which could lead to research that discovers the cause of ADHD. The station continues to provide tours of our facility to local schools to show where and how the news is produced, and to answer questions on what skills are needed to work in the industry, including education. The station's on-air talent maintain and extensive schedule of presentations to community groups and schools. Visits were made to schools to read to students, helping them develop a love of reading and continuing education, teaching them about weather and the environment, sports and health, and to answer questions about television, world events, and issues that impact their lives. Our news personalities are all active in the community, including one of who serves on the board of the Northern California Chapter of the National Association of Television Arts and Sciences, serving in the Mentoring and Scholarship programs. Our station is also active on social media, where we field questions from children, and take the opportunity to encourage them to continue their education, act in a socially responsible manner, and become good stewards of the planet on which they live. |
