STUDENT-ATHLETE COLLEGE ELIGIBILITY HELP COMES IN THE FORM OF A TV SHOW!

Coming this winter to TerrificKid TV is Moving the Chains. A sports show catering to the student as much as it is the athlete. Moving the Chains will feature The Recruiting Doctor, Dr. Todd Meiklejohn, NCAA recruiting eligibility expert. This interactive forum was created to provide a trusted source and education to high school student athletes and their parents. We look to help both parent and student to understand what to do and how to ensure that student-athletes will be college eligible and able to continue uninteruppted with their academic and athletic careers. Moving the Chains will premiere this winter on TerrificKid TV. Stay tuned for listings.

Got Change Incorporated Launches Youth Oriented MultiMedia Network to Teach and Train Local Youth Life, Professional and Leadership Skills.

More and more young people are falling prey to acts of violence. Here in South Florida we've seen a young lady almost beaten to death by a school mate right outside their school campus, a young man set on fire by several of his school mates on his way home from school to as recent as a 12 year old young man being shot in the head in a random act of violence while playing at a South Florida park. If your child isn't safe at school, in their own neighborhood or at the local park, where can they feel safe and how can we change this trend?

Got Change Incorporated is providing a great alternative. NEIGHBORHOOD PLANET NetVision! (NPNtv) is comprised of youth from the ages of 12-18 and has a mission to develop young people into global citizens by teaching them how to attain success through education, real-life professional training and personal development. NPNtv is launching TerrificKid TV which is a youth oriented and operated, online broadcast channel on its network. TerrificKid TV will provide local youth oriented content and programming that bring relevance, information and entertainment of substance to local communities, kind of like a PBS for young adults, an informative, yet cutting edge and thought provoking entertainment platform. With so much reality programming being broadcast on television, our youth are being bombarded with negativity and are developing a skewed understanding of what makes up good principles and character, which spills over into their daily walk of life. TerrificKid TV is looking to change this trend by providing youth with “crap free” programming that will consist of weekly shows live and recorded, web movies, sports and community news programming. The Network will be ran by youth and programmed by youth who has been trained by local, respected professionals in their related broadcast and media fields. TerrificKid TV will be broadcast to youth over the platform that they use most, broadband internet which includes broadcast via website, online radio, on demand video and live streaming to computers, laptops, tablets and cellphones.

In order for this changed environment for our young people to exist we must actually create the environment, get them involved, put them in this environment and help them grow. NPNtv is fueling this momentum for change by getting our young people involved and teaching them the proper life and professional skills to be a positive and active global citizen, starting right in their own community.

NPNtv is seeking youth who would like to learn the fields of multimedia, broadcasting and communications and who want to become an active participant of this dynamic program. Sponsorships and donations are also encouraged and welcomed to assist in the building of the NPNtv. Cash contributions as well as donations in-kind of computers, video cameras, digital cameras and any broadcast related equipment from businesses and individuals is needed. All donations are tax deductible.
