Abstract: This study examined the impact of Channel One programming (i.e., television news/information programs directed toward students ages 12 to 18) on students and teachers in a school district in Minnesota. Primary objectives of the study were to: (1) determine if a correlation exists between the reception of Channel One programming and knowledge of current events; (2) determine if a correlation exists between the reception of Channel One programming and ability to position U.S. locations on an outline map; and (3) assess attitudes toward Channel One commercials. An experimental group of 449 students in grades 6 through 12 and 27 teachers from 3 public school receiving Channel One and a control group of 404 students and 25 teachers from 3 public schools not receiving Channel One were surveyed. Identical surveys testing knowledge of current events and U.S. geography were administered to all participants, and an attitude survey on commercials was administered to the experimental group. Results indicated that Channel One programming has a positive impact on geography skills and that commercials are tolerated as a part of the packaging. A positive impact on knowledge of current events was also found, although this finding was not statistically significant. The report includes several data tables. (MES)
