NewsChannel 2 and NBC present our Saturday morning children's programs as part of our commitment to our young viewers and in compliance with FCC regulations regarding Children's TV.

These shows are both educational and informative in nature and designed specifically for youngsters between the ages of 4 and 8 years old.

Our Saturday morning shows include:

BABAR - based on the classic children's story of an elephant-king and his family in the city of Celesteville.

THE ZULA PATROL - based on the book series by Deborah Manchester, this program teaches science and astronomy facts to its target audience.

3-2-1 PENGUINS - two young children meet and live with a group of penguins and held their bird friends avoid disaster.

VEGGIE TALES - Bob the Tomato and Larry the Cucumber teach life lessons to their young friends.

JANE & THE DRAGON - Jane is a knight in the King's Guard and, with the help of her dragon friend, seeks solutions to problems she encounters around the castle.

MY FRIEND RABBIT - this series models constructive problem solving for young children.

NewsChannel 2 and NBC work to maintain limits on commercial content for these programs that meet the FCC standards as set out in the Children's Television Act of 1990.

As part of our compliance with the Children’s Television Act of 1990 NewsChannel 2 files quarterly reports about our efforts with the FCC. Those reports are available for viewing in our public file, at our offices at 5936 Smith Hill Road, Deerfield, NY. They are also on line at www.fcc.gov.  Just search for Children's Television.
