| Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. | Pearlie is an animated comedy series based on the children's book series Pearlie the Park Fairy by Wendy Harmer. Pearlie is an optimistic, light-hearted fairy who sees the good in everybody, but often gets into situations because her desire to help is larger than her capacity to deliver. Aimed for an audience within the 4-8 year old range, Pearlie focuses on the importance of following the rules, using good judgment and learning how to avoid getting into trouble. Since Pearlie was appointed by Fairy Head Quarters (HQ) to keep Jubilee Park in sparkling order she has constant challenges with her basic goal of keeping everyone happy and making sure the park functions smoothly. Pearlie's nemesis and cousin Saphira, often takes advantage of Pearlie's good nature which requires that Pearlie must also frequently outwit the park bully. In each episode, we see Pearlie approach new tasks and problems with a great deal of enthusiasm, but without the organization required to get the job done. Through plot developments and with the assistance of her friends, Opal and Jasper, she learns what to do and what not to do in each situation so the park can be restored to order. |

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. | Effective the week of September 26, 2010 and continuing through this quarter, NBC and its affiliates launched the "Education Nation" campaign. It is a nationally broadcast, in-depth conversation that seeks to engage the public, through thoughtful dialogue, in pursuit of the shared goal of providing every American with an opportunity to pursue the best education in the world, especially our children. During an interactive summit on Rockefeller Plaza, parents, teachers, and students come together with leaders in politics, business, and technology to discuss the challenges and opportunities in education today. In addition, NBC turned Rockefeller Plaza into a "Learning Plaza," open to the public, which allowed visitors to explore America's educational "ecosystem." WHEC-TV engages in non-broadcast activities such as conducting station tours, participating in reading programs at area schools, and speaking to various groups about careers in the communications industry. More specific information is as follows: News Anchor, Rebecca Leclair, visited Webster Schroeder High School, on Monday, 2/7/11, and appeared at a seventeen-year-olds counseling/guidance session to consider an action plan for the young-lady's future. She's a Special Ed Student and she invited people who inspire her to attend the meeting. One day she hopes to be a TV Broadcaster and so Rebecca went to give her some inspiration. On Monday, 2/14/11, News Anchor, Rebecca Leclair, was asked to speak to Middle School girls at Greece Atheana about how to make a difference; an how to be special and turn things into successes. It was part of a "Love Yourself Day" on Valentine's Day, to show girls if they have confidence in themselves, they can make the right choices to be successful after High School. On Sunday, 3/6/11, News Anchors, Pat McGonigle, and Rebecca Leclair, participated in the "Kids Out and About Event" during the Razor Sharks game. News Anchor, Rebecca Leclair, read to a group of kindergarten students at Canal-View Elementary School in Spencerport, NY, for "Rochester, Read Week Fun". On Monday, 3/28/11, Executive Producer, Ray Sullivan, gave a station tour to a group of Tiger Cubs from Victor, NY. WHEC-TV also participates in a project whereby Local High School seniors are nominated to be the 10-NBC Scholar Athlete of the week. Every Tuesday our sports-team selects a unique senior who not only holds a B+ (85 or higher) average academically, but also excels in one or more school athletic programs. The recipient is profiled during the Sports segment of our six o'clock newscast, September through June. For more specific information, see the public file.

| Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. | Pearlie is an animated comedy series based on the children's book series Pearlie the Park Fairy by Wendy Harmer. Pearlie is an optimistic, light-hearted fairy who sees the good in everybody, but often gets into situations because her desire to help is larger than her capacity to deliver. Aimed for an audience within the 4-8 year old range, Pearlie focuses on the importance of following the rules, using good judgment and learning how to avoid getting into trouble. Since Pearlie was appointed by Fairy Head Quarters (HQ) to keep Jubilee Park in sparkling order she has constant challenges with her basic goal of keeping everyone happy and making sure the park functions smoothly. Pearlie's nemesis and cousin Saphira, often takes advantage of Pearlie's good nature which requires that Pearlie must also frequently outwit the park bully. In each episode, we see Pearlie approach new tasks and problems with a great deal of enthusiasm, but without the organization required to get the job done. Through plot developments and with the assistance of her friends, Opal and Jasper, she learns what to do and what not to do in each situation so the park can be restored to order. |
