Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. AQUA KIDS, which aired on WUAB's main digital channel in the aforementioned time period from 9/17-9/30/11, is a half-hour weekly series that provides core programming in the area of biology and specifically, the ecosystem related to the ocean, its tributaries and estuaries. Children can learn about the resources of the oceans and how protection of the oceans is necessary to preent and future generations. Not only does the show teach biological topics, but it aims to enrich children's lives by making them aware of future generations, the role they play now, and for generations into the future, with the biggest ecosystem on earth - the oceans. Each episode provides information related to a specific topic and gives an educational approach to understand the topic as it relates to the entire ecosystem of the earth. AQUA KIDS uses the technique of near-peer mentors i.e., children to teach other children. Each episode employs these mentors (called Aqua Kids) who ask questions and experience firsthand the experience of the topic. For example, children might feed manatees to experience the graceful, gentle nature of the animal and learn about their biology or dig through piles of silt dredged from the ocean depths to look for shark teeth to understand how shark continually grow new teeth and lose old rows to teeth.

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. NOTE: From 7/1 through 9/10/11, E/I programming on WUAB aired on a Monday through Saturday schedule. Effective Sat, 9/17 and Sun, 9/18/11...the E/I programming went to a new (weekends only) schedule with four half-hour E/I programs airing on Sat from 7-9AM and two half-hours of E/I on Sundays from 7-8AM. WUAB consistently aired 3 hours of E/I programming each broadcast week in the 3rd quarter 2011. Because the 3rd quarter ended on a Friday (and before that week's weekend E/I telecasts), however, it appears that WUAB has a shortfall. Our 398 WUAB filing for 3rd quarter 2011 is hereby amended with this information. Initial filing completed on 10/7/11 contained penalty for the aforementioned which was corrected by this re-filing. NOTE: Because WUAB-TV ceased analog operations and converted to digital-only operations on June 12, 2009, questions 7(b) and 7(c) are no longer applicable.

Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. AQUA KIDS, which will air on WUAB's main digital channel in the 4th quarter 2011, is a half-hour weekly series that provides core programming in the area of biology and specifically, the ecosystem related to the ocean, its tributaries and estuaries. Children can learn about the resources of the oceans and how protection of the oceans is necessary to preent and future generations. Not only does the show teach biological topics, but it aims to enrich children's lives by making them aware of future generations, the role they play now, and for generations into the future, with the biggest ecosystem on earth - the oceans. Each episode provides information related to a specific topic and gives an educational approach to understand the topic as it relates to the entire ecosystem of the earth. AQUA KIDS uses the technique of near-peer mentors i.e., children to teach other children. Each episode employs these mentors (called Aqua Kids) who ask questions and experience firsthand the experience of the topic. For example, children might feed manatees to experience the graceful, gentle nature of the animal and learn about their biology or dig through piles of silt dredged from the ocean depths to look for shark teeth to understand how shark continually grow new teeth and lose old rows to teeth.

This exciting series, which is scheduled to air on WUAB's secondary digital channel "ThisTV" in the 4th quarter 2011, thrusts the viewer into the dramatic fray of the War of Independence - as seen through the eyes of two kids who've been taken in and given jobs as roving reporters by the Renaissance man of the Revolution, Ben Franklin. British teen Sarah sees both sides of the war and doesn't like either while American teen Gregory is a passionate defender of freedom and liberty. French orphan Henri, who's also been taken in by Ben, may be younger than his new "big brother" and "big sister," but he often sees most clearly. The series is packed with action yet it confronts moral decisions head on. It's not concerned with the politics of history, but uses the drama of the events as a backdrop for the conflicts faced by its protagonists.
