A new study by Childern Now reveals substantial deficienceis in children’s educational television programming and raises serious doubts about broadcasters’ commitments to the nation’s childern.  The study evaluated the quality of programs claimed as educational/informational (E/I) and found that only one of every eight E/I shows (13%) is rated “highly educational.” In contrast, almost twice as many, nearly one of every four (23%) were classified in the lowest category of “minimally educational.”

This study confirms once again that broadcasters provide little quality educational and informational televison for kids.  Parents are called on again to make up the difference and seek out the good stuff that’s on TV.   Use the tools we provide on our website, highlight the good shows, and Take Control of your TV!
