January Updates

Weekdays at 4:30pm – Design Squad (Starting January 1st)

DESIGN SQUAD, a series aimed at 9 to 12-year-olds, borrows from the reality competition format and intends to get its viewers excited about engineering. Two teams of high school students (ages 16-19) design, build and test whimsical machines and innovative products -- everything from a wireless light and dance show to an automatic pancake maker -- for real clients. Guided by two young engineer hosts,the teams are scored for their ability to think outside the box and meet (or surpass) the demands of the challenge at hand. In the final episode, the top two scorers battle for the grand prize: a $10,000 college scholarship.

Help Wanted – Sundays at 2:30pm – Starting January 17th
The Help Wanted Project is an extensive multi-media co-production of WMHT and WCNY, anchored on a series of 26 half hour television programs.

Using a combination of documentary production and in-studio informational segments, The Help Wanted series will follow the journeys of 44 New Yorkers from all walks of life, all educational levels, and located around the state. The series profiles individuals and families under stress as they struggle to overcome an array of economic obstacles.

But the message of Help Wanted is all about hope and help, and how to get it. Each episode will give viewers information, access to resources, and show them how to find help in four major areas:
·         Finding Jobs
·         Workforce Training
·         Protecting Consumers
·         Family Financial Planning

In collaboration with numerous community social service organizations, media partners and government agencies, WMHT and WCNY will provide New Yorkers with reliable information from trusted sources on a variety of media platforms. To accomplish this, they’ll be creating a substantial web portal, which links to local, regional and state-wide resources and up-to-date information, as well as imbed content from the Help Wanted television series. They’ll also be offering a variety of multi-media content packages, interstitials and modules for local public and commercial television and radio stations, newspapers and social media Web sites.

Replaces an airing of Your New Home for 26 weeks.
