The station's news team is known throughout the Detroit area as the "FOX2 Problem Solvers." WJBK focuses its efforts each day on using the power of television to solve viewer problems and make the Detroit community a better place. In addition, in every newscast, WJBK airs health and money stories that support its "news that works for you" philosophy. The station also has news franchises called "Parent 2 Parent" (offering parenting tips) and "Honor Roll" (highlighting young people who give back to the community). Provided below is a brief summary of important local stories that WJBK has covered recently within its local news broadcasts:

* Problem Solvers. Kaytya – 3 years old – was born with a defect in which part of her brain is growing outside her head. A world-renown surgeon and Detroit native was willing to operate at Johns Hopkins in Baltimore – but Medicaid wouldn’t cover the surgery that would drastically improve Kaytya’s quality of life. Problem Solvers told Kaytya’s story – and received calls from hundreds of people and businesses willing to donate. WJBK stayed on the story for six months – and when it was over, Kaytya was able to have the surgery.

* Affirmative Action. The mayor of Detroit, along with other state leaders, put the call out for Michigan voters to keep affirmative action alive.

Breaking News Updates

WJBK broke into and/or preempted regularly-scheduled programming numerous times during the period covered by this report in order to bring its viewers breaking news or disaster information. This coverage included extended reporting on severe weather, such as tornadoes and flooding, and alerts for missing persons. For example, WJBK aired the two separate 30-minute "Wicked Weather" specials in November of 2003 and in May of 2004 to prepare viewers for weather disasters. From snow to tornado safety, thunder- storms to flooding and lightning, WJBK went to work to tell its viewers how to protect themselves. In addition, WJBK regularly interrupts programming to cover breaking news at local schools or businesses, or if warranted by a national political story.

Public Affairs Programming

WJBK broadcasts the following public affairs programs:

"Holiday Connection" One-hour program highlighting numerous non-profit organizations in metro-Detroit before the holiday season. This special showcased some of metro-Detroit's "needs" and informed viewers how they can get involved to help make a difference over the holidays.

"Front and Center: "Without Sanctuary" This half-hour Front and Center in July of 2004 was about the new exhibit on lynching that came to Detroit's Museum of African American History. The show took an in-depth look at the shocking exhibit – and discussed the importance of bringing it to the area – one of the most segregated communities in the country.

In addition, WJBK has aired a variety of other local programming of interest to the viewers in its community. For example, WJBK aired a special program relating to the United Auto Workers contract negotiations with Ford Motor Company.

Sample "Problem Solvers" stories:

As Problem Solvers we do more than simply cover the news. We take advantage of every opportunity, to help our viewers by identifying needs, discovering trouble spots and exposing dangers. Where other stations may simply expose problems in the community, the FOX2 Problem Solvers are just getting started, because the real work lies in using the power of television to solve the problem. We fill the needs, fix the trouble spots and eliminate the dangers.

Each day, the FOX2 Problem Solver Hotline receives an average of 300 phone calls and emails from viewers seeking help. Not every call can be a news story, but every call is a plea for help that deserves to be answered. That’s why the Problem Solvers have recruited 20 partners, local non-profit agencies—like the United Way, the Michigan Humane Society, as well as legal aid organizations, mediation services, shelters and counselors—who can assist the Problem Solvers in responding to calls for help. The non- profits are trained to handle the problems that our viewers have. In return – we help promote the good work done by these agencies. As a result of this effort, tens of thousands of people in Metro Detroit have their problems solved each year thanks to FOX2. It’s a massive undertaking, but we understand that this is why we got into this business in the first place, to identify and fill needs, find and fix trouble spots, locate and eliminate dangers—to solve the problem. To understand this, just talk with those we have helped.

Talk with Leanna Dickerson. Her youngest daughter – 3 year old Kaytya – was born with a defect called Cranial Meningoencephalocele. Part of her brain is growing outside of her head. A world-renown surgeon and Detroit native was willing to operate at Johns Hopkins in Baltimore – but Medicaid wouldn’t cover the surgery. A surgery that would drastically improve Kaytya’s quality of life. When the situation came to the attention of the Problem Solvers – we went to work. We told Kaytya’s story – and asked FOX2 viewers for help. We received calls from hundreds of people willing to donate. Businesses stepped up as well – a local trainer held a benefit. The CEO of Dominos Pizza wrote a 25-hundred dollar check. The Problem Solvers put out the call – and help came from all over metro Detroit. We stayed on the story for six months – and when it was over little Kaytya’s family had more than the $18,000 they needed for the surgery. Problem Solved.

Sometimes the work of the Problem Solvers helps more than one person at a time and benefits the community as a whole by making our neighborhoods safer, cleaner and better places to live. The city of Detroit is riddled with thousands of abandoned homes. Often, drug dealers and prostitutes moved into vacated buildings, driving families out of neighborhoods. Through a new program launched by the Wayne County Prosecutor’s office, the county is seizing abandoned property and auctioning it off for small sums, attempting to get people to fix up the homes and move back in, regenerating neighborhoods and bringing life back to the city. The Problem Solvers stepped up - creating Operation Home Again. Each week, we portray a house that needs to be turned around and made into a home again. As a result, dozens of abandoned homes have been rehabbed and reoccupied, giving hope a home in the city of Detroit. That problem’s not solved yet, but we’re getting there, one house at a time.

We run a Problem Solver story every day – and more examples of our news commitment are included in the following report. But the FOX2 Problem Solver mission is bigger than just the News Department. It is a station-wide effort to pursue and implement solutions to community problems, fulfilling the station’s pledge, “FOX2 Works for You.” All departments within the station are involved – coming together as the Detroit station that truly works for its viewers.

EXHIBIT C – Community Participation

The following summary illustrates WJBK's various efforts to interact with its community.

Every month FOX2 sponsors and supports a variety of causes. Over the past year we supported more than 100 community causes. Some of the highlights:

Viewers wanted us to help in the fight against gun violence in our neighborhoods. We teamed up with “Project Safe Neighborhoods” for a series of town halls, news stories and public service announcements to show people how to take action in their communities. Many viewers call the Problem Solvers over the holidays– wanting to help others but not knowing where to turn. We teamed up with the United Way to help viewers make a “Holiday Connection” – connecting them to charities that needed their help. Viewers could pick up a “Wish List ” at a local retailer that featured the needs of local charities. The project gave exposure to more than 130 local agencies that serve people in our community. In addition to PSAs and news coverage we produced a special program about giving for Thanksgiving morning. FOX2 made a “Holiday Connection” too – selecting agencies in the Wish List and collecting hundreds of coats and toys for people in need. FOX2 supported Vista Maria’s “Celebrating Women” event, which raises money for Vista Maria, Michigan’s largest, non-profit residential treatment agency for abused and neglected girls. FOX2 supported major fundraising events for MAPP – the Midwest AIDS Prevention Project. During Dine Out Detroit and Dine Out Ann Arbor local restaurants donate 10% of their sales to support MAPP’s programs and services. FOX2 was the media sponsor for the annual Garden Party for the St. Vincent and Sarah Fisher Center. The event benefits the abused and neglected children of SVSF. We teamed up with the American Red Cross for a number of projects throughout the year. During a critical blood shortage this summer – we helped get the message out. We also hosted a blood drive in December to increase blood donations during the holidays. This past summer, we teamed up with the Red Cross for a summer safety campaign. We teamed up with the Red Cross again in December for Blanket Days for the Homeless and gathered thousands of blankets for local homeless people and disaster victims. FOX2 was proud to return as a sponsor of the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation’s Walk to Cure Diabetes. This year ’s walk raised over $1.5 million and attracted more than 14,000 walkers. FOX2 sponsored the American Cancer Society’s Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk, with events in Detroit and in Ann Arbor. Our promotions resulted in record numbers in Detroit, where 7,400 walkers brought in $665,000. FOX2 Problem Solvers voted with their feet as well, raising thousands of dollars on our own. FOX2 helped the Detroit Lions with drives during the holidays, encouraging viewers to collect Toys for Tots and coats for the Salvation Army. FOX2 supported the Michigan State Police Fall Color Run that raises money for the Thin Blue Line of Michigan – an organization that helps families of officers who have been injured or killed. FOX2 sponsored Courageous Persuaders, a program in which young people compete for scholarship money by producing a PSA about the dangers of underage drinking. We teamed up with Detroit Red Wings’ Brendan Shanahan to collect and distribute smoke detectors for low-income families.

FOX2 returned as sponsor of the Michigan State Fair. The station has taken a lead role in rebuilding the image of the fair, giving thousands of our viewers the opportunity to come together for a family-oriented festival.
