Alloy’s Channel One News has the job of telling children about other Alloy entertainment programs. We have seen ads for Gossip Girl on Channel One’s website but since we are blocked (as are all parents) from seeing what is advertised on the show, we are not certain if Gossip Girl has been advertised on the in-school TV show. This video is a trailer for the first season of Gossip Girl. They are now airing Season Three and the show has only gotten more sleazy and more reckless in its encouragement of underage drinking.
Schools with Channel One News should discontinue showing it to students until their school district can investigate the pros and cons of having this hyper-commercial TV playing ONE HOUR a week in classrooms.
