What's New? (TV series)

What's New? was a daily science television program for children. The National Educational Television network broadcast the show in the 1960s. The half-hour program aired in black-and-white. It did not survive NET's transition to the Public Broadcasting Service.[1][2]

The target audience was upper elementary school and junior high school grades. The show was hosted by Al Binford and science teacher George Fishback.[1] Ron Finley created the opening credits. Each program would deal with three different topics, such as baseball or space science.[1][2]
