TV Time
“A marketplace approach simply doesn’t work for children. Children’s television can never be profitable
because most of the people who watch it are very short, very young and have
very small allowances.”
—Peggy Charren (1928-2015), children’s activist and founder of Action for Children’s Television, 1983
• Editorial Comment: Well, how much does decent kids’ TV cost, anyway?
