Weekly News Show
First News TV
Welcome to a world of info for kids! FYI: Weekly News Show is an award-winning weekly news magazine show. Broadcast 52 weeks a year, FYI investigates the big issues young people need info on. The show not only puts children in the know but also gives them a platform on which they can be heard. With reports from across the globe, explainers, debates, Fake News or Fact alerts and in-depth reporting, we also get big name interviews – from world leaders to pop and film stars.
