Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. | [32.2 - Antenna TV] Mustard Pancakes is designed to contribute to preschool children's social and emotional development, with a secondary focus on literacy and storytelling. Specifically, the series is built upon a substantive educational curriculum that addresses three primary goals: (1) To support and nurture a sense of self-esteem and self-efficacy among three-to-six-year-old children by encouraging them to demonstrate respect for themselves and others; (2) to foster the development of children's social and emotional skills by modeling age-appropriate strategies and behaviors, and (3) to stimulate children's interest in literacy and storytelling, encouraging them to express themselves creatively by sharing stories of their own. Growing from this foundation, every episode of the series conveys important socioemotional content regarding topics such as cooperation, diversity, respect for others, or coping with failure. |

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. | Due to the end of analog broadcasts on 6/12/09, KRCW no longer has analog broadcasts, and therefore, the answer to 7(b) is "no." Due to transmission equipment failures, the entire KRCW signal was off the air for several hours during the morning of 6/6/11. Therefore, two "Planet X" E/I programs did not air as scheduled. Unfortunately, it was impossible for technical reasons for KRCW to "make good" the two program telecasts in the 32.2 signal at a later time. Accordingly, both "Planet X" episodes were "made good" on primary channel 32.1, as reported in answer to Question 10 above. KRCW produced a special 30-second promotional announcement that aired several times during the Monday 6/27 "Planet X" broadcasts (before the two makegoods occurred) to alert the audience to tune to KRCW 32.1 for the special showings of the two missed episodes. A list of educational PSAs for children, aired during this quarter, is located in the station's public inspection file. |
