This is one of those things that I feel like my brain made up because nobody ever talks about it, but then every time I see Lisa Ling, I'm like "No, no. That was definitely real." I was not aware of the drama with it, so thanks for serving that tea ☕️
Yes! I remember this in middle school and high school! We had little TVs mounted up near the ceiling that only played channel 1 news in home room in the mornings and then in high school the little TVs also played an after noon school news show and activities announcements run by students.
We had channel 1 news in middle school and high school. Until my dad and I moved from Tennessee to North Carolina. The school I finished high school at didn’t have it. I asked some people about it and they hadn’t even heard of it. I kept thinking I remembered a couple of now famous people from channel 1 news. I didn’t realize it ran for so long.
It was banned?!? I totally remember sitting in the lunch room of my middle school and watching it. I kind of forgot about it for a little while until I saw Lisa Ling of something else and then it all came back. I honestly don’t remember there being commercial at all 😂
It's so weird how we all lived the same childhoods. Not only everyone watching a certain channel. Even personal things like balancing a light switch between on and off (for whatever reason) or running up the stairs in a wild way?????? So strange. 😮😂❤
That's so true. I only had 3,000 people in my town growing up... so I was the only Sailor Moon lover at school. Now, it's like I'm one in a billion. Any childhood experience I had, somebody is reviewing on RUclips. I love the show and movie reviews as well.
@@MLaker221i grew up in a small town too, i was also that kid who loved sailor moon. I used to make my older sister pretend to be Queen Beryl and I was always sailor moon or venus lol
Channel one was amazing! I don’t remember seeing commercials, but commercials were on everything so I could easily see just not noticing they were there too. Also how did I not remember we had journalist babies as the news anchors???
We had Channel one back in the day. I don't remember anyone watching it though. I just remember messing with my hair and makeup 😂 I'm Gen X so the teacher just wanted us to shut up 😂
We watched it in my art class period in the mid nineties. I was in the Lisa Ling period, and the teen news aspect was taken seriously. I actually learned a bit from it, like the anti American hate and sentiment in the middle east fours years before 9/11. Plus it the commercials were the same maxi pad, zit cream, gum, and soda commercials MTV played, nothing offensive at all. I guess some crazy parents just decided they didn't like this school mandated show advertising gum? (which we weren't allowed to have in class anyways!) Clearasil my god! I though channel one was fine, nothing controversial at all in any way. I think a few parents made it that way, simply because they didn't like the idea of the school being forced to show commercials to their kids. It could have been commercial free, but then how could they afford all those t.v.'s the schools got and used for everything else? Also my school had it's own cable access station and did their own morning news type show over those t.v.'s. One of the girls who hosted got a sweet behind the scenes job at County Music Television after college. (CMT) My school had no issue with it, and the kids that watched it and didn't sleep through enjoyed it.
😂😂 they forced us to watch the OJ story. Anything involving them wheeling in that squeaky wheel television on the stand was fun for us. We felt it was an escape from books...but let's face it, its neurolinguistic programming at its fines.😅😅
lol parents of that generation barely even remembered they had kids. But they’re pissed about ads for zip cream 🙄 gmfb At home, they didn’t even pay attention to what their kids were watching, let alone those ads. But let’s bitch and moan about free stuff for school and act like we actually parents!
It’s no longer fun. We had something similar when I was in middle school in the mid 2010s and it was just a bunch of unfunny puns, random irrelevant news, and politics. It would sometimes start stupid debates among peers. I always hated that time of day when we would watch it. Sorry, Carl Azuz.
1991-2 was my 7th grade year where I watched Channel 1 after recess at my private religious junior high. I don't think it was continued in my 8th grade there at the school but I could be blanking too. Anyways, it enrages me that private schools sold out to this commercialization. Back then though private schools were still reasonably priced so that normal families could afford them. America is a land of sell outs to the highest bidder on such a grand scale that it's scary. We need diversity of expression, not conformity to one source of information.
I remember they had a song of the week! They were always super indie songs that my top 40 obsessed class didn't recognize. One week the song was Fall For You by Secondhand Serenade. My classmates were like "Oh, finally we know this one!"
I didn’t experience Channel 1 News in school. I was too young. But Anderson Cooper who I watch on CNN since High School was also a reporter for Channel 1 News from 1990-1995.
I hadn’t heard of Channel One News until it was on an essay I had to read for AP English Language in high school. It was about captive advertisements, I think.
1993- they installed ours. It didn’t play daily… it was hit or miss. The teachers were forced to participate, they hated being interrupted, but gave in. Honestly, I was a teenager, I cared less about the news🤷🏽♀️
I remember finding out River Phoenix died from Channel 1. Dude, Brian Kilmeade (Fox News) started at Channel 1. The same channel that gave us Anderson Cooper and Lisa Ling, also gave us Brian Kilmeade. Can’t win ‘em all, I guess.
I remember this! It wasn’t controversial in my school because we were such a poor school district, we could never afford any of the equipment ourselves. We had books with way outdated information and our maps still had East and West Germany. TVs in every classroom was a dream.
2 things I remember from Channel One News: learning about the Taliban in Afghanistan because of a Lisa Ling-reported story, and a Blockbuster Video ad about the movie Titanic being released on home video. Like, a video rental chain devoted an entire ad campaign to one singular movie now being available for home rental.
when you said this kids news channel was controversial, i was not expecting you to say it was because there were ads. not even controversial ads...just ads. lol that would NOT be the controversy today. lol
We went to board meetings to make sure Channel one didn’t come to our schools. The advertisements were the problem. As you said the students were a captive audience. We as parents did enough push back that it never came to our school.
I can half recall this, but I remembering wondering why my school wasn't buying A&E in the classroom lol. But really, teachers only wanted to bring that TV in when they needed a break, lol, or the day before a school break.
Channel 1 was shown during homeroom throughout middle/high school. NO ONE watched it. Many teachers put it on mute and let us talk/sleep/study. It honestly never occurred to me that anyone actually watched! 😂
I could have been watching this all through school?!!? We did not have this. I don't think my state allowed it bc I saw things like this on tv shows and thought it was an example of how tv shows don't understand most kids are not going to school in LA.
We didn’t get it at my school but when I started working in schools as a substitute teacher a lot of times kids would watch it. It’s just by that time I think it was streaming and they could watch it whenever.

This is a throwback! I remember channel 1 news!
Parents and educators banned Channel 1 in our school district due to the student-targeted commercials.
We had it at my middle school and I loved it! Made the news easy to digest for my kid brain and less scary

Running up the staircase on all fours, using our fans as autotune, our moms always saying "no we have that at home" when we really didn't...
@@LetsRomanticizeLife Seriously!!!😂
I grew up in a very small town, but watching channel 1 made me feel like a city girl. 🤣

My school did. I hate right here right now because of it
Oh My God, I watched Channel One in middle school back in 2013 and it looked completely different
Sounds similar to BTN in Australia (behind the news).. That's where I first saw the video clip of MMMBop.

The parents were right, playing targeted ads for middle and high schoolers is messed up

I must have been at the schools where it was banned.. i have never heard of it!
I was in middle school around 97-2000 and I don't think we had Channel 1 News. I remember Nick News though.

I just remembered that nickelodeon new show....shoot can't remember the name of it but please tell me someone remembers this
Nick news!
I remember when they did a special on RUclipsrs like Supermac18!
@jennaabarclay yes!!!! Such an easy name, how could I forget.
I think there’s a Daria episode about this 😂
That would be very on brand for Daria…I need to look into this!
I loved channel 1 because we stopped work to watch and it was also a great nap time.
I remember they had a song of the week! They were always super indie songs that my top 40 obsessed class didn't recognize. One week the song was Fall For You by Secondhand Serenade. My classmates were like "Oh, finally we know this one!"
The only way I knew about anything happening around the world as a teenager was through channel 1 news.
We didn't have Channel One News, we instead watched CNN 10 with Carl Azus
We all had a crush on a Channel One presenter.
I watched Channel One in junior high. Wild times!
I loved Channel 1 news in HS 😂
I didn’t experience Channel 1 News in school. I was too young. But Anderson Cooper who I watch on CNN since High School was also a reporter for Channel 1 News from 1990-1995.

In my country we had a programme called "Behind the news', it sucked but it was always a happy moment when you could watch tv in class.
BTN??? R u Australian?
@@TwilightSagaCullen yep

@TwilightSagaCullen hahaha it was a terrible show!!
