What exactly is Channel One trying
to sell our students? Well, now you can see for yourself as you
sit in front of your computer.
You can now view specific Channel
One commercials taken from actual tapes that came from America’s
classrooms.
It is often very difficult to
get tapes of Channel One shows out of a school. Channel One has
configured their equipment so it erases its program every night
around 3:00 AM. This is appalling. If your child sees something
offensive on Channel One, then it may very well be erased by the
time you find out. Channel One executives have publicly said they
would supply tapes of their shows to anybody who asks for them,
but they have never fulfilled their promise when we and others
we know have asked them for tapes.
That is why we will be putting
samples of their content on our web site. This will allow parents,
teachers, students, and other concerned citizens to mobilize their
communities against this marketing company.
Downloading a video will take
up to ten minutes if you have a 56K modem. It is worth the wait.
You can use the waiting time to write a letter to your school
board members urging them to end Channel One’s contract. Click

One Video Clips Page.
