The approach to educational TV pioneered during this time has become the template for educational TV throughout the country. In 1997, "Extra Help" was expanded to 24 hours on weekdays, and the Long Island One branding was removed. On weekends, they would still show the Photo Bulletin Board, but the Cablevision logo was pasted over the Long Island One logo in the banner that showed up every five minutes telling viewers how to submit events. At the end of its first Spring Season (March 1995 to July 1995) "Extra Help" won a Cable Ace Award for Best New Educational Show Concept – 1995.
