WTCI Family Day is scheduled for Sunday from noon-3 p.m. at WTCI’s broadcast studio, located at 7540 Bonnyshire Dr. WTCI is also sponsoring a book drive during the event to support Battle Academy.
Activities will include:
Meet PBS Kids characters: Caillou, Clifford, Leona from Between the Lions, Martha Speaks, and Alpha Pig from Super WHY! will greet children and a photographer will be on hand.
See Yourself on TV: Children will have a chance to see what it is like to be on TV in a special camera station set up in the studio.
Hear Your Favorite Story: Read 20, a Hamilton County organization promoting literacy skills for early childhood, will provide reading activities throughout the day in WTCI’s Ready to Learn Center.
Touch a Fire Truck: A fire engine and firefighters from the Chattanooga Fire Department will be teaching fire safety and children will have the chance to see a fire engine up close.
Have Your Face Painted: WTCI staff members will offer face painting for kids throughout the day.
Donate a Children’s Book: WTCI is holding a book drive during the event to support Battle Academy’s literacy program. Children who donate a used book at Family Day can pick out a new book from our Ready to Learn library.
Take a Station Tour: In November, WTCI is celebrating its two-year anniversary in the new broadcast center– attendees can tour the 30,000+ square foot, state-of-the art facility.
