From Jim Metrock: This was from February 2006. Channel One’s president Judy Harris was on a panel talking to governors. She wanted the governors to know that Channel One routinely combines news and feature stories with advertising. If companies that were trying to sell products to kids could benefit from Channel One’s unethical blurring of the lines between news and marketing then maybe the states could also benefit.
Although Mrs. Harris was a marketing executive she didn’t last long at Channel One.
