(page 280) "Many parent and consumer groups (are) urging the FCC to enforce its
regulations and to strengthen them, by requiring the networks to air more educational
programming. In 1951, twenty-seven hours of quality children's programming aired each
week. The President and FCC Chairman Reed Hundt would like to see the FCC require each
network to broadcast at least three hours a week. As of this writing, the FCC has not taken
action on this proposal. In response to public petitions, however, Westinghouse, which has
recently purchased CBS, has voluntarily made such a commitment The FCC's decision will
not affect cable stations, since they are considered exempt from government regulations
because they do not use the public airwaves."

(page 281) "In May 1995, John Wright and Aletha Huston, professors of human development
at the University of Kansas, released the results of a four-year study on how television
influences the academic skills, school readiness, and school adjustment of low-income
children. They found that preschoolers who watched as little as twenty-five minutes per day
of educational children's programs like Sesame Street did significantly better on standardized
verbal and math tests when they started school and consistently spent more time on reading
and other educational activities than did children who watched primarily noneducational
cartoons and adult programming."
