KRWG-TV Quarterly Program Topic Report

July, August, September

2017

2

KRWG-TV is the PBS station located in Las Cruces, New Mexico. We are licensed by New Mexico State University and our offices are located on NMSU’s Las Cruces campus. KRWG-TV is proud to be the only television station in southern New Mexico. We also provide unique services in the El Paso, Texas/Las Cruces, New Mexico service area. Through meetings with citizens and community leaders, partnerships with area newspapers and other organizations, and extensive production of news and public affairs programming, the staff of KRWG-TV has determined the following issues are of primary importance to our coverage area: Health/Welfare/Safety – While the over-all crime rate is no higher than the national average, poverty and a higher than average teenage population contribute to s gang and crime problem. Poverty 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. Cultural and historical understanding is of great importance. 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 crucial. 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 to boost border trade. Politics/Public Affairs – Southern New Mexico and the United States have a wide variety of contentious 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 – KRWG-TV is located in a desert with two major sources of water: the Rio Grande River and an aquifer 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 agriculture.

CLASSICAL STRETCH: THE ESMONDE TECHNIQUE Monday-Friday at 6am beginning 9/21(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. The exercises reach deeply into muscles and ligaments not normally worked in the average fitness program and are set in routines that release tight muscles one by one. The results come quickly - not over years, but in a matter of minutes. Increased flexibility is enjoyed instantly. This unlocking of the muscles creates the leaner look, giving the participant back the body they were meant to have before locking it up in the sedentary and stressful lifestyle of the 21st Century. Core Principles:

• It is a combination of scientific stretching, PNF, tai chi, yoga, ballet, physiotherapy and chiropractic movements, plus Esmonde-White's research and knowledge of specific exercises that will give you a longer and leaner body.

• It takes the PNF concept to another level -gently freeing the body to a level of flexibility that most people never imagined they could achieve.

• It plays with the concepts of agonist / antagonist and joint rotation to speed the rate of elongation and strengthening which results in a leaner looking body.

• It focuses on spinal rotation and joint alignment, liberating the back from pain and • Improving posture.

In CLASSICAL STRETCH: BY ESSENTRICS XI, participants will notice an immediate increase in flexibility and a release of tension in their muscles after each episode-improving their posture and range of motion.

Head of Joaquin Murrieta Sunday 9/17 at 4pm (30min) For over a decade filmmaker John J. Valadez searched for the remains of Joaquin Murrieta, a legendary Mexican outlaw who blazed a trail of revenge across California until he was caught and decapitated in the summer of 1853. A hundred and sixty-two years later Valadez believes he has the head. So he embarks on a quixotic, cross-country road trip through history, myth and memory to bury the fabled head of Joaquin Murrieta. Along the way he discovers chilling parallels with his own family story and eventually realizes that the head he will bury is only symbolic. And yet its power as a metaphor remains. Using new ground breaking scholarship and working with a team of leading historians from across the country, The Head of Joaquin Murrieta provides a dissenting view of American history from a decidedly Chicano perspective. Deeply personal, irreverent and entertaining, the film tears open a painful and long ignored historical trauma that has never been explored on American television: the lynching of Mexican Americans in the west.

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.

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.

KRWG Airdate and Time: Sunday at 630am except 9/3 (30min) Title: MARTHA SPEAKS MARTHA SPEAKS is an animated series on PBS KIDS. 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 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?!

Like many of today's kids, Nature Cat is eager and enthusiastic about outside activities, but is at times intimidated by them. With the help of his animal friends, Nature Cat embarks on action-packed adventures that include exciting missions full of nature investigation, "aha" discovery moments and humor, all while inspiring children to go outside and "play the show."

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. NM True TV
