Channel One News is a television program shown in classrooms in 8,000 to 12,000 secondary schools in the United States. It is usually about twelve to thirteen minutes in length daily. Included in the program are two to three minutes of advertising. Usually, its content consists of news and sports programming and commercials. The program is funded with money from sponsors and advertisers. Schools agree to air the program in exchange for 19" or 27" televisions for classrooms, 2 VCRs (one for the school's use, one to record the program), a satellite dish that picks up Channel One's signal, and the right to access the Channel One Connection, a library of commercial-free educational programming.
