KRWG Quarterly Program Topic Report

April, May, June

2015

INTRODUCTION Through meetings with local community leaders, review of area newspapers and other publications, and production of a nightly newscast (Monday to Friday), the staff of KRWG-TV have determined that the following issues are of primary importance to the citizens within our coverage area: Health/Welfare/Safety – Petty crimes and drive-by shootings are an on-going problem in this area. While the over-all crime rate is no higher than the national average, low-income families and a higher than average teenage population contribute to the gang and crime problem. The chronic low-income family problem also results in health and welfare issues including an above average social services caseload and a high number of welfare cases handled by the local hospital. Culture – The mix of Hispanic/Native American/ and Anglo cultures provide many positive attributes to life in southern New Mexico. However, this same mix results in an on-going undercurrent of conflict among the cultures. Cultural and historical understanding is of on-going importance in this area. Business - With an above-average unemployment rate and a below-average income level, the status of the business/agricultural community in southern New Mexico is an important and on-going issue. Concern over the constant issue of defense spending at the federal level is ongoing in this area due to the presence of several military and NASA installations. Dona Ana County is also actively seeking new businesses and a strong infrastructure exists near the Santa Teresa Border Crossing, which is also a source of news and related issues. Politics/Local Public Affairs – Southern New Mexico has very intensive and on-going political issues that are of constant interest to the citizens of the involved communities. Education – With a constantly growing population of children, many of whom use Spanish as their primary language, the school systems in the KRWG-TV viewing area are constantly trying to provide facilities and teachers to meet this growing school age population with limited funds. New Mexico is one of the poorest per-capita states in the nation, which results in a chronic shortage of funds for local education. Water/Environment – Located in a desert with two major sources of water, the Rio Grande River and an acquirer that supplies drinking water to Las Cruces and surrounding areas in the Mesilla Valley. Water is the lifeblood of the region and conflicts are escalating over the requirements of a growing urban population and the on-going needs of agriculture. Children – As noted above, families in this area have an above-average number of children. At the same time, many of these families must survive on a below-average

3

income and have an additional handicap because English is most often their second language. Southern New Mexico agencies must provide a broad range of social services to many of these children while at the same time having to deal with a limited economic base. National & World Affairs - To provide citizens in this area with information about the issues listed above, KRWG-TV provides a wide range of local, regional, and national programming that relates to these issues.

Rey. It airs daily on PBS KIDS aimed at preschool viewers (ages three to five); the goal of the series is to inspire children to explore science, engineering, and math in the world around them. And what better guide is there for this kind of exploration than the world's most curious monkey? George lives to find new things to discover, touch, spill, and chew. Everything is new to George and worth investigating. Of course, in George's hands — all four of them — investigation often leads to unintended consequences! Throughout George's adventures, he encounters and models basic concepts in each of the three content areas. (To learn more, read about the educational philosophy that drives the series.) While remaining true to the look and feel of the beloved books, the daily series expands George's world to include a host of colorful new characters and locales. Each episode features two animated stories followed by short live-action segments in which real kids investigate the ideas that George introduces in the stories. The series is narrated by Emmy award-winning actor William H. Macy. The CURIOUS GEORGE series also aims to show parents and caregivers how to foster the development of science and math literacy in children. In addition to programming, the series is supported by a substantial educational outreach campaign that develops relevant materials and distributes them to librarians, teachers, community centers, and families. These materials offer activities designed to support and extend the learning objectives of the series. Most of these resources are available right here on the CURIOUS GEORGE Web site in the Activities & More section.

KRWG Airdate and Time: Friday 4/3 at 8am, Sunday 4/5 at 630am (60min) Title: CURIOUS GEORGE: Swings into Spring - It's springtime! And a little monkey has a big case of spring fever.

KRWG Airdate and Time: M-F at 9am & 930am (30min) Title: DANIEL TIGER’S NEIGHBORHOOD Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood is a new, beautifully-textured animated series from PBS KIDS for preschoolers aged 2-4, based on the legacy of Fred Rogers. Its cast are the children of his original and much-loved Neighborhood of Make-Believe characters. A young Daniel Tiger is joined by his friends O the Owl, Katerina Kittycat, Prince Wednesday and Miss Elaina. Together, through imagination, creativity and music they learn the key social skills necessary for school and for life.

Every Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood episode offers a parenting strategy. The clip below is from an episode about first experiences—a visit to the doctor and a ‘look around’ visit to school. The parenting strategy being modeled shows that by talking to children in advance about what to expect, parents can ease any apprehension they may be feeling. As in all Daniel stories, the strategy is offered as a musical ‘jingle’ – in this case “When we do something new, let’s talk about what we’ll do!”

Building on the landmark PBS series Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood, Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood is a new series for a new generation of children. Launching in fall 2012 on PBS KIDS, the series tells engaging stories about the life of a preschooler and is accompanied by cross-platform games and activities for the very youngest children, together with online resources for parents and teachers. Daniel was developed by The Fred Rogers Company, and brings together a group of today’s leading creators of children’s media and educational technology. The series tells its engaging stories using musical strategies grounded in Fred Rogers’ landmark curriculum: its songs give parents and children a concrete way to practice important school-readiness skills together.

Aimed at viewers between the ages of four and seven, MARTHA's educational goal is to teach kids new words Based on the children's book series by Susan Meddaugh and published by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, the series stars Martha, a beloved family dog. She is accidentally fed alphabet soup — this gives her the power of speech and the chance to speak her mind to anyone that will listen. With two stories in each episode, kids will get to know Martha as an outspoken, honest, smart, confident dog who loves to eat (and talk!). They will also meet the rest of Martha's family and friends. Ten-year-old Helen is Martha's best friend. Martha

7

encourages the shy, artistic Helen to be more outgoing and brave. Helen acts as the voice of reason for Martha. It's a relationship any dog, or pet-lover, can appreciate. The series is supported by an educational outreach campaign that includes a cross-age reading buddy program. The show is Closed Captioned and described for the visually impaired. It's produced by WGBH Boston and Vancouver's Studio B Productions. Learning Goals The goal of MARTHA SPEAKS is to increase oral vocabulary, the words we use when we talk. The shows are not trying to teach kids how to read. They are designed to help kids understand what words mean when they hear them; words like retrieve, sprout, and crave. Vocabulary is one thing that predicts if children will be good readers. Once they are in school and they see these words, children will need to know what they mean. If children have heard the words before that familiarity will help them as they learn to read. MARTHA SPEAKS is designed to teach up to 20 words in each show. And how better to get kids excited about learning and trying out new words than with a talking dog, who just can't stop talking?! KRWG Airdate and Time: Sundays at 730am (30min) Title: MAYA AND MIGUEL "Maya & Miguel" chronicles the adventures of 10-year-old Latino twins, Maya and Miguel Santos, as they figure out how to leave their stamp on the world around them, and features their relatives and diverse neighborhood friends.

KRWG Airdate and Time: Saturdays at 730am (30min) Title: MISTER ROGER’S NEIGHBORHOOD – The soothing voice of Mr. Rogers continues to comfort children telling them that there will always be someone to take care of them and helping them feel good about themselves. Ages 2-5. KRWG Airdate and Time: M-F at 430pm (30min) Title: ODD SQUAD – ODD SQUAD is a PBS KIDS live-action media property designed to help kids ages 5-8 learn math. The show focuses on two young agents, Olive and Otto, who are part of the Odd Squad, an agency whose mission is to come to the rescue whenever something unusual happens. A math concept is embedded in each of their cases, as Olive and Otto work together to problem-solve and save the day in each episode. ODD SQUAD is created by Tim McKeon (Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends, Adventure Time, The Electric Company) and Adam Peltzman (The Electric Company, The Backyardigans, Wallykazam!) and produced by Sinking Ship Entertainment and The Fred Rogers Company.

KRWG Airdate and Time: Sundays at 6am (30min) Title: THOMAS AND FRIENDS: Set on the imaginary island of Sodor, the series follows the adventures of Thomas, a cheeky little Tank Engine, and his friends, Ed Ward, James, Gordon, Percy, Henry and Toby, plus Emily, the first female steam engine -- all under the watchful eye of Sir Topham Hatt, the manager of the Sodor Railway. KRWG Airdate and Time: M-F at 12pm (30min) Title: WILD KRATTS- "Wild Kratts" joins the adventures of Chris and Martin Kratt as they encounter incredible wild animals, combining science education with fun and adventure as the duo travels to animal habitats around the globe. Each adventure explores an age-appropriate science concept central to an animal's life and showcases a never-before-seen wildlife moment, all wrapped up in engaging stories of adventure, mystery, rescue, and the Kratt brothers' brand of laugh-out-loud-comedy that kids love. Real-life Chris and Martin introduce each "Wild Kratts" episode with a live action segment that imagines what it would be like to experience a never-before-seen wildlife moment, and asks, "What if...?" The Kratt brothers’ transition into animation and the adventure begins, bringing early-elementary school children into the secret lives of extraordinary creatures, many of which have never been animated before -- including Tiger quolls, Draco lizards, and Caracals! KRWG Airdate and Time: Saturdays at 630am (30min) Title: WORD WORLD: WordWorld, the first preschool series where words are truly the stars of the show! Come along for an adventurous romp into a colorful, vibrant world of words with the lovable, legible WordFriends™–animals whose bodies are made up of the letters that spell the word they are. But the WordFriends are characters first and words second. Sheep is painfully shy but loves to pretend. She will take on the role of detective, princess, and super hero–anything to help her friends! Then there’s Frog, the cautious brainiac and word “expert,” whose crazy inventions sometimes don’t work exactly as planned. Frog’s neighbor and good friend is silly, impetuous Duck. Just like a preschooler, Duck is still learning his letters–and social skills–and often needs Frog to help him out of trouble. Pig, a marvelous chef and a bit of a ham, lives life moment by glorious moment; his best buddy, Ant, is a hard working bundle of energy who manages to keep Pig in check, run a radio station out of his ant hill, and lead a family of hundreds of ant cousins. Dog is a WordFriend’s best friend and is always ready to play, play, play (and build a word)! The WordFriends go on comic adventures and face challenges that

9

can only be resolved with the right word. That word is built letter by letter, sound by sound, during the funky “Build a Word” song at the end of every episode. Once the word is built, it “morphs”–comes alive–into the thing it is! Word building reinforces the pre-reading concept that letters (and their sounds) make words, and that words have real meaning…and power. The series also introduces literacy concepts that preschoolers will encounter as they become readers, such as sounding out letters and rhyming. But most of all, WordWorld helps children get excited about reading and see words as their friends. KRWG Airdate and Time: M-F at 3pm (30min) Title: CYBERCHASE: Math rules in the animated adventure series CYBERCHASE. CYBERCHASE energizes kids ages eight to eleven with math power.

CYBERCHASE sends the message that math is fun - it's about problem solving and, boy, does it come in handy. When the dastardly villain Hacker (Lloyd) launches a mad mission to conquer the virtual universe, Motherboard calls upon three earth kids for help. They are Jackie, Matt and Inez - the culturally diverse heroes of CYBERCHASE - who, along with the wise-cracking cyber-bird Digit (Gottfried), travel from their real-world realm to the colorful virtual vistas of cyberspace, where they vanquish the bad guys in an all-out battle of wits. Each episode takes the kids on a thrilling adventure driven by a different math concept - from tackling time in ancient Egyptian tombs to cracking codes in creepy caves or making sense of numbers in a fractured fairy tale world.

Most importantly, Dr. Chopra will argue that Religion and Science, when understood at the highest levels, do not contradict each other and, in fact, actually complement each other! Dr. Chopra argues that even those of us brought up in a largely secular, materialistic world, without a devout connection to a religious tradition, can still have a more productive vital life, and a greater sense of well-being and happiness, if we gain a more intimate and powerful connection to the Divine Wisdom of

10

the ages. By combining science, history and philosophy, as only Deepak Chopra can, he delivers a program that embodies and celebrates so much of what is central to the mission of public television: An ongoing, curious and engaging, quest into what it means to be human.

Less than five days later, the key suspects were identified and apprehended with one dead, the other in custody. How did investigators transform the chaos of the bombing into a coherent trail of clues, pointing to the accused killers? NOVA follows the manhunt step by step, examining the role modern technology -- combined with old-fashioned detective work -- played in cracking the case. Given hundreds of hours of surveillance and bystander videos, how did agents spot the bad guys in a sea of spectators? Why couldn't facial recognition software I.D. the criminals? How much could bomb chemistry analysis, cell phone GPS, infrared imagery and crowd sourcing reveal about the secrets behind this horrific crime? With the help of top criminal investigators and anti-terrorism experts, NOVA explores which technological innovations worked -- and which didn't -- in the most notorious case of today, and how the world of crime fighting could be transformed tomorrow.

Dr. Christiane Northrup-Glorious Women Never Age Saturday 5/30 at 1030am and Saturday 6/6 at 2pm (90min) Dr. Northrup has always counseled that health isn't just for the young. Now, in response to thousands of requests from readers, radio show listeners, lecture attendees, and fans from all over the world, she has turned her attention to the subject of women and aging - and once again, proves to be a fearless thinker, pioneer and author whose work is always based on impeccable research. In her newest PBS special, Christiane Northrup, M.D. visionary pioneer and one of the world's leading authorities in the field of women's health and wellness, addresses the subject that hits the sweetest of sweet spots among the female 60+ PBS audience demographic: she takes on the topic of "aging" - and turns it on its head! She challenges the most popular but least helpful perspectives on women's "aging," replacing the notion of decline and decrepitude with the profound understanding that growing older means an increase in wisdom and value. Dr. Northrup skillfully collects and interprets research from astronaut studies, eldercare, the fields of sexuality, orthopedics and other areas, and combines them with her own clinical and life experience.

done in your past. You can change your habits, reverse the damage, and find a new beginning. Dr. Michael Roizen, Chief Wellness Officer at Cleveland Clinic, co-author of the YOU: Owner's Manual series, and dubbed "The Enforcer" on the Dr. Oz Show is back with life-changing medical advice aimed to help people turn their health around. In this 60-minute national PBS program, Dr. Mike reveals the 5 Do-Over Deeds that are the secret to losing weight, living longer, keeping your brain functioning, maintaining a healthy relationship in the bedroom, and finding total-body wellness. This is Your Do-Over is a second chance to change YOUR health destiny, and live a life with energy, happiness and wellness. If you look at today's health statistics, you'd have reason to believe that most of us are in some deep, deep trouble. More than one-third of American adults are obese and two-thirds are overweight or obese. Nearly one-third of Americans will have diabetes by the year 2050 if current trends continue. About 600,000 die of heart disease every year, consisting of nearly a quarter of all deaths. There are a predicted 1.6 million new cases of cancer that will be reported in 2014. The scariest part, perhaps is that even if you're not one of those statistics, you could well be on your way. We're a society that eats too much, moves too little, stresses all the time, and doesn't get enough sleep. Unfortunately, we're trending in the wrong direction. But the real truth doesn't lie in those numbers. The real truth lies in this fact: it's not too late for you to grab your do-over. No matter what kind of lifestyle you have led, no matter what bad habits you may have, no matter if you're a smoker or a marshmallow addict, you have the ability to get on track, start over, and reboot your body so that you can live a healthy life. The science shows that just like you can change directions in a car, you can change the function of your genes through lifestyle choices. All you need are the tools to do so. In This is YOUR Do-Over, Dr. Michael Roizen bolts down all that he has learned in the most important areas of wellness, and teaches you the 5 Do-Over Deeds that are the recipe for a better life. These are the tools to help you start over, whether you have one bad habit to change or need an entire life overhaul. Using the most cutting-edge data, anecdotes of those he's worked with, and the advice that has worked for the thousands whom he has personally coached, Dr. Mike provides the formula for a simple, yet effective, Do-Over in YOUR life. CLASSICAL STRETCH: THE ESMONDE TECHNIQUE Monday-Friday at 6am (30min) An original combination of scientific formulas and graceful movements that unlock uncomfortably rigid muscles leaving the participant with a more flexible, relaxed and strengthened body.

BUSINESS Suze Orman’s Financial Solutions for You Sunday 6/7 at 1230pm (120min) We all have financial issues and problems. Suze Orman's latest special sharply focuses on her helping individual viewers "find financial solutions for you." As always, Suze's advice is based not just on numbers, but on a critical understanding of ourselves and our emotional needs. The special's central theme is that our financial decision-making should be guided by an understanding of "the goal of money." As Suze perceptively defines it: "The goal of money is to make you feel secure." Our financial solutions should work to fulfill that goal. In addition, Suze stresses the importance of making financial decisions that you feel comfortable with. Financial problems are caused when you do things with money that do not seem "right" to you, despite pressures and advice from others.

NOVA #4014 Manhunt – Boston Bombers Wednesday 4/29 at 8pm, Thursday 4/30 at 2am, Saturday 5/2 at 8pm and Sunday 5/3 at 2am (60min) At 2:50pm on April 15, two bomb blasts turned the Boston Marathon finish line from a scene of triumph to tragedy, leaving three dead, hundreds injured and a city gripped by heartbreak and terror. Less than five days later, the key suspects were identified and apprehended with one dead, the other in custody. How did investigators transform the chaos of the bombing into a coherent trail of clues, pointing to the accused killers? NOVA follows the manhunt step by step, examining the role modern technology -- combined with old-fashioned detective work -- played in cracking the case. Given hundreds of hours of surveillance and bystander videos, how did agents spot the bad guys in a sea of spectators? Why couldn't facial recognition software I.D. the criminals? How much could bomb chemistry analysis, cell phone GPS, infrared imagery and crowd sourcing reveal about the secrets behind this horrific crime? With the help of top criminal investigators and anti-terrorism experts, NOVA explores which technological innovations worked -- and which didn't -- in the most notorious case of today, and how the world of crime fighting could be transformed tomorrow.

Dr. Christiane Northrup-Glorious Women Never Age Saturday 5/30 at 1030am and Saturday 6/6 at 2pm (90min) Dr. Northrup has always counseled that health isn't just for the young. Now, in response to thousands of requests from readers, radio show listeners, lecture attendees, and fans from all over the world, she has turned her attention to the subject of women and aging - and once again, proves to be a fearless thinker, pioneer and author whose work is always based on impeccable research. In her newest PBS special, Christiane Northrup, M.D. visionary pioneer and one of the world's leading authorities in the field of women's health and wellness, addresses the subject that hits the sweetest of sweet spots among the female 60+ PBS audience demographic: she takes on the topic of "aging" - and turns it on its head! She challenges the most popular but least helpful perspectives on women's "aging," replacing the notion of decline and decrepitude with the profound understanding that growing older means an increase in wisdom and value. Dr. Northrup skillfully collects and interprets research from astronaut studies, eldercare, the fields of sexuality, orthopedics and other areas, and combines them with her own clinical and life experience. The result is 7 Steps that every woman should take in her journey to getting older - without aging. The special was taped at Boston's Calderwood Pavilion, in front of an audience of wildly enthusiastic Northrup fans! THE CANCER OF ALL MELODIES #102 Wednesday 4/1 at 2am (120min) This episode picks up the story in the wake of the declaration of a "war on cancer" by Richard Nixon in 1971 and the search for a cure. In the lab, rapid progress is made in understanding the essential nature of the cancer cell, leading to the revolutionary discovery of the genetic basis of cancer, but few new therapies become available. Not until the late 1990s do advances in research begin to translate into more precise targeted therapies with breakthrough drugs. Following the history during these fraught decades, the film intertwines the contemporary story of an oncologist diagnosed with breast cancer. Her emotional and physical struggles provide a bracing counterpoint to the historical narrative.

THE CANCER OF ALL MELODIES #103 Wednesday 4/1 at 8pm and Thursday 4/2 at 2am (120min) This episode starts at a moment of optimism: Scientists believe they have cracked the mystery of the malignant cell, and the first targeted therapies have been developed. But very quickly cancer reveals new layers of complexity and a formidable array of defenses. Many call for a new focus on prevention and early detection as the most promising fronts in the war on cancer. By the second decade of the 2000s, the bewildering complexity of the cancer cell yields to a more ordered picture, revealing new vulnerabilities and avenues of attack. Perhaps most exciting is the prospect of harnessing the human immune system to defeat cancer. A 60-year-old NASCAR mechanic with melanoma and a six-year-old with leukemia are pioneers in new immunotherapy treatments, which the documentary follows as their stories unfold.

heartbreak and terror. Less than five days later, the key suspects were identified and apprehended with one dead, the other in custody. How did investigators transform the chaos of the bombing into a coherent trail of clues, pointing to the accused killers? NOVA follows the manhunt step by step, examining the role modern technology -- combined with old-fashioned detective work -- played in cracking the case. Given hundreds of hours of surveillance and bystander videos, how did agents spot the bad guys in a sea of spectators? Why couldn't facial recognition software I.D. the criminals? How much could bomb chemistry analysis, cell phone GPS, infrared imagery and crowd sourcing reveal about the secrets behind this horrific crime? With the help of top criminal investigators and anti-terrorism experts, NOVA explores which technological innovations worked -- and which didn't -- in the most notorious case of today, and how the world of crime fighting could be transformed tomorrow.

CHAMBER ECONOMIC FORUM Thursday 5/21 at 7pm, Friday 5/22 at 1am, Saturday 5/23 at 5pm and Sunday 5/24 at 11am (60min) THE CANCER OF ALL MELODIES #102 Wednesday 4/1 at 2am (120min) This episode picks up the story in the wake of the declaration of a "war on cancer" by Richard Nixon in 1971 and the search for a cure. In the lab, rapid progress is made in understanding the essential nature of the cancer cell, leading to the revolutionary discovery of the genetic basis of cancer, but few new therapies become available. Not until the late 1990s do advances in research begin to translate into more precise targeted therapies with breakthrough drugs. Following the history during these fraught decades, the film intertwines the contemporary story of an oncologist diagnosed with breast

84

cancer. Her emotional and physical struggles provide a bracing counterpoint to the historical narrative. THE CANCER OF ALL MELODIES #103 Wednesday 4/1 at 8pm and Thursday 4/2 at 2am (120min) This episode starts at a moment of optimism: Scientists believe they have cracked the mystery of the malignant cell, and the first targeted therapies have been developed. But very quickly cancer reveals new layers of complexity and a formidable array of defenses. Many call for a new focus on prevention and early detection as the most promising fronts in the war on cancer. By the second decade of the 2000s, the bewildering complexity of the cancer cell yields to a more ordered picture, revealing new vulnerabilities and avenues of attack. Perhaps most exciting is the prospect of harnessing the human immune system to defeat cancer. A 60-year-old NASCAR mechanic with melanoma and a six-year-old with leukemia are pioneers in new immunotherapy treatments, which the documentary follows as their stories unfold.
