Controversy about the program

Channel One has become controversial in large part due to the commercial content of the show. Critics claim that it is a problem in classrooms, because it consumes class time. Supporters argue that the ads are necessary to help keep the program running.

Some also feel that the way the program presents certain issues is too much like entertainment and not taken seriously. The show sometimes uses "guest anchors" who are usually well-known celebrities. They host Channel One to plug their music, movie, or television programming.
