1. Television Shows
   Although Yorkshire Television claims to serve the whole of Yorkshire and northern Lincolnshire, it has long been contended by many of the people of Sheffield that Yorkshire Television shows an unacceptable bias towards West Yorkshire in general and Leeds in particular[1]. This alleged bias was seldom better illustrated than when Sheffield Wednesday won an unlikely League Cup Final in 1991 against Manchester United. Extended highlights of the game and post-match celebrations were available and individual ITV stations were left to decide whether to show them; London Weekend Television showed the additional half-hour, but Yorkshire Television opted to stay with their scheduled programme, War of the Monster Trucks - a decision which they have never subsequently been able to live down[1]. Yorkshire Television opened a Calendar News studio in Sheffield prior to the War of the Monster Trucks incident[2], possibly to counter accusations of bias. The studio is clearly a very small setup ... which again has led to a perception among locals that YTV treats Sheffield as an afterthought.
2. Kids
   All Kids Can, a program of the CVS Caremark Charitable Trust and CVS Caremark, is a five-year, $25 million commitment to support children with disabilities.

3. Bernie Mac Show -- Television
   Gayle welcomes comedian Bernie Mac to the show to talk about his new movie, Pride, a sports drama about the creation of the Philadelphia Department of Recreation's mostly African-American swim team in 1971. Bernie says he gets to showcase his dramatic acting talents in the film, which he says is a pleasant change of pace from his usual comedic roles. Having starred in The Bernie Mac Show for five successful years on television, Bernie tells Gayle about his plans to retire from stand-up later this year, but says his fans will still be seeing a lot of him in film and other projects. Plus, Bernie talks about the most important women in his life—his wife Rhonda, his mother and his grandmother—who he credits with much of his success for their advice and for believing in him throughout the years.

5. Pbs Kids
   Friend Day - In November 2006, PBS Kids had a program about friends and how to keep in touch with them, even when they are far away. It was very similar to a normal setup for the regular Miss Lori and Hooper block. This was the first special on PBS Kids to be hosted by Miss Lori and Hooper. Visit http://www.pbskids.org/friendday/ for this program's website.
6. Kids -- Children

7. Kid Rock
   A self-proclaimed redneck from the midwestern United States, Kid Rock turned a catchy mix of rap and country-influenced hard rock into pop stardom with his 1998 release Devil Without A Cause. He grew up near Detroit, Michigan, but in 1991 he moved to New York City to further his career. Although he had landed his first record contract in 1990, record labels weren't quite sure how to promote a white rapper who blended heavy metal and country rock. His albums The Polyfuze Method (1993) and Early Mornin' Stone Pimp (1996) featured lyrics too nasty to play on the radio, but relentless touring and a gift for self-promotion earned Kid Rock a cult following. By 1999 he and his band, Twisted Brown Trucker, were performing in arenas and causing sparks on MTV. In 2000 Kid Rock released The History of Rock, a collection of re-mixes and older material.
8. Kids and Teens
   Kids and teens' use of the Internet is known to be unsafe. For example 83% of teens download music, 64% use illegal music download sites; and "digital music" is the riskiest search term on the Internet. In addition, studies have found that more than 70 million consumers use social networking sites such as MySpace and Facebook, and 82% download unknown files -- another risky behavior.
9. Music Television
   MTV (Music Television) is the oldest and most influential American cable network specializing in music?related programming. It was launched on August 1, 1981, with the words "Ladies and gentlemen, rock and roll," spoken on camera by John Lack, one of the creators of MTV. This introduction was immediately followed by the music?video clip Video Killed the Radio Star, featuring a band called the Buggles. The title proved somewhat prophetic as MTV greatly transformed the nature of music?industry stardom over the next several years. At the same time, MTV became a major presence in the cable?TV industry and in fact in the overall American cultural landscape.
