Channel One News getting sloppy.

Channel One News getting sloppy.

From Jim Metrock: Channel One News is a taped show. Even though there is less pressure with a canned program, mistakes pop up on the program.  This may be because Channel One News is more about advertising than journalism. Students watching Channel One News see U.S. Senator Bob Corker (R-Tenn) discussing the Russia investigation.  However,...

A student does a backward somersault at Wakefield Middle School, and why it matters.

Wakefield Middle School student performs a backward somersault to help promote a school vendor. What if she was injured doing this? Did the teacher or school obtain informed, written consent from parents of students before they performed and read their script and before their likenesses were nationally distributed? Does the Wake County Public School System...

  From Jim Metrock: Channel One News keeps on plugging Teen Vogue and their radical sexual and political agenda with high school, middle school, and elementary school kids.

Channel One News brings back Maggie to fill up air time.

From Jim Metrock: The big star this week on Channel One News was Maggie Rulli.  Maggie Rulli!? Didn’t she quit Channel One News over a year ago? This is how Channel One works: if a news subject is somewhat timely, and Channel One has some old videos on that subject, they will simply replay...

One-sided story on Kaepernick raises questions about Channel One News.

Channel One News demeans Civil Rights icon, tells students Kaepernick may be a modern day Rosa Parks. Kids told multi-millionaire Kaepernick is a helpless victim of corporations. Chilling transformation underway at Channel One News: More slanted news, more editorializing. From Jim Metrock:  Channel One’s lovefest for Colin Kaepernick is disgusting. This follows Channel One’s bizarre...

We’ll give you three… er, two minutes.

We’ll give you three… er, two minutes.

From Jim Metrock: Channel One has never been popular in Massachusetts.  Does the name “Billerica” sound familiar? It’s hilarious how the Dudley-Charlton school district in Dudley, MA “honors” their Channel One contract. Channel One’s contract states: 4) The School agrees to receive the Channel One News programs from Channel One and to show the...

AL school kicks Channel One News where it hurts.

From Jim Metrock: Channel One has always considered the Tuscaloosa County (AL) school district a loyal “Channel One district.”  This district like most in Alabama that still have a trace of Channel One’s presence in its schools, doesn’t care a whit about the Channel One contract. The district’s Davis-Emerson Middle School has proudly shown...

  From Jim Metrock:  It’s not working out. Channel One News limps into this new school year with an audience problem and a packaging problem. The “good old days” of over 8 million students in its captive audience are gone. Students at schools that still technically show the program, don’t see the program.  Since...

Channel One News: The No News Channel

From Jim Metrock: Channel One News calls themselves a “digital content provider dedicated to encouraging kids to be informed, digitally-savvy global citizens.” This is funny.  Channel One News is no such thing. All summer long the lazy, wannabe reporters at Channel One have told schoolchildren NOTHING about current events.  Why not?  They have a...
