2017 LOCAL CONTENT AND SERVICE REPORT
IMPACT ON EDUCATION
EDUCATION
WEFS continues to operate its four multichannel
service on a 24/7 basis. This allows the broadcast of
daily Children’s programming and other educational
content. WEFS broadcasts a minimum of 8 hours per
week in the station’s educational block which
includes, but is not limited to, “1001 Nights,” “Mack
and Moxy,” “Mixed Nuts,” “Biz Kid$,” “Hands On Crafts
for Kids,” and “Thomas Edison’s Secret Lab.”
WEFS devotes one of the multi-channels to the NASA
Education Channel. Our station is based on the Florida
Space Coast and this give our viewers the opportunity to
watch educational programs and rocket launch events.
While much of the programming is the same as on NASA
Select, the NASA Channel includes unique programming
geared to K-12 students. This is one of our over-the-air
channels which can be received by schools that may not
have cable service.
