CHILDREN NOW TO STUDY EDUCATIONAL TV SHOWS
[SOURCE: Broadcasting&Cable, AUTHOR: John Eggerton]
Children Now, which helped the FCC craft compromise DTV kids rules in concert with industry, says it is launching a study of just how "educational" educational kids shows are. "[We] will conduct a major national research study to assess the quality of shows broadcasters are claiming as educational," said Children Now VP Patti Miller. "We want to make sure kids have access to quality educational programming, not more shows like 'Complices al Rescate.'"
