Ava takes us on a tour of a US Naval Ship stationed in Jacksonville, FL. The ship is not only one of the fastest and most lethal ships the Navy has, but its historical namesake is also very special. Find out why it’s called “The Sullivans.”

In “Art Smart” Emily tells us about an artist who started her career in her late 70s and still painted for more than 20 years – Grandma Moses.

Although roads were built for cars, they’re also shared by people walking, biking or riding on scooters. And that’s the subject of this next video from the National Road Safety Foundation.

In “What’s in a Name” Veronique explains that sometimes names of locations are accidentally confusing but sometimes they are intentionally misleading – and that brings us to how Greenland got is name.

For weeks now we’ve been telling you that this is a very important season for Teen Kids News. We’ve now been on the air for 20 years. Over that time, 9 teens have sat in this anchor chair. Today, we look back with Christin.

We call them “Rising Stars.” Teens who have the talent and the craving to make it in the very tough world of entertainment. This week, we introduce you to a singer with a passion for our country’s favorite cultural icon – the American Cowboy. Oh, and she is an accomplished yodeler – Phoebe White!

Team TKN

Launching its 23rd year on the air, the Emmy award-winning, weekly half-hour program is seen across the country on more than 160 TV stations and seen around the world on the American Forces Network.

The staff at Teen Kids News has lost a longtime and dear friend this past week.Ernie Anastos was an award-winning newscaster who worked with TKN’s executive producer while they both were at Channel 7 Eyewitness News in New York City.Famous for his always upbeat, positive attitude, viewers not only liked Ernie, they trusted him. His sincerity was real.Over the years, many of us worked with Ernie to create wonderful – and wonderfully creative - TV programs. A truly good person who went out of his way to help others, Ernie was always willing to lend his name and his talent to a worthy cause.When we produced the NY Easter Seal Telethon, Ernie was one of our hosts. Telethons are some of the most difficult TV programs to produce. They run non-stop for hours. And they can be grueling, especially for those who are on-camera for much of that time.Ernie was perfect. He handled the pressures of marathon live television with a smile, humor and good grace.Thanks to his participation, the telethon exceeded its fund-raising goals, enabling Easter Seals to help many more people across the NY metro area. Recently, Ernie invited our anchor, Lylah and our reporter, Ava and our Executive Producer, Alan Weiss, to be guests on his podcast. It was a privilege to work with Ernie Anastos And an honor to have him as a friend.He will be missed.#ernieanastos #positivelyernie ... See MoreSee Less
