Justin Finch, Jessica Kumari, and Steven Fabian wore out their welcome at NBC. They pose in their new corner, now located at CBS.
All three wannabe journalists desperately need managers. Kumari is going on her third year stuck at Channel One News.
Hard to believe but Channel One News remains alive and appears to be ready to broadcast another full school year.
The three remaining reporters for Channel One News have returned. Their careers evidently have bottomed out. Think about it: to work at any TV news station you have to be good enough that the audience will want to see you again and again. At Channel One News, your audience is watching you only because there is a contract that compels the audience to watch you. Finch, Kumari, and Fabian could read a phone book on air each day and they would have the same audience they always had.
We’re cranking up our coverage of Channel One because although the number of students watching Channel One News continues downward, their connection with Alloy Media and Marketing – the company that owns Channel One News – is growing more disturbing.
Obligation’s Jim Metrock said, "Alloy Media and Marketing markets sleaze to children. If anyone thinks that’s too strong, they have no idea what Alloy is about. For the first year or two, Alloy was careful not to use Channel One to push its age-inappropriate TV shows and books like Gossip Girl. Alloy is now heavily promoting its very questionable teen.com site on Channel One. Teen.com is mainly a promotional site for Alloy’s disgusting entertainment products. Alloy has gone so far as to black out all commercials from the Channel One News rebroadcast on its website so parents are now in the dark about what Channel One is advertising. There is a stench coming from Channel One and Alloy. Parents and educators have more reason than ever to refuse to show Channel One News in classrooms."
