Toedo Blade – Feb. 21, 1980
The debate about what kids watch
on TV continues. Certainly everyone is concerned about it. And experts on both
sides of the issue will, undoubtedly, continue to juggle their ways through
research studies and case findings to arrive at their respective conclusions.
But that still leaves the kids caught in the middle.
That is, until now.
We, at the CableSystem, are proud to
announce that the void in solid children’s television has been filled.
The CableSystem is now offering a
selection of 10-11 hours of daily, Nickelodeon. Children’s programming experts
convinced us that the best way to get kids away from the violence and
commercials they’re constantly subjected to on regular TV is by offering them
something they like better.
They’ll like Nickelodeon better.
