OK, anyone who has ever been in jr. high or high school, or is there now, did you guys ever have to watch that news thing for schools, Channel 1?

Plata · 04-18-2002, 06:45 PM

I didn't know there was a channel 1. Here, the channels just begin at channel 2 with the Shopping Channel. The channel 1 here is basically a audio visual channel. Just a black screen. It's nothing.

DarleneIllyria · 04-18-2002, 06:45 PM

Yeah, I watched it in 7th and 8th grade. Then when I hit high school, I only had to watch it in certain classes. I remember watching it in U.S History, Civics/Economics, and Psychology/Socialogy. I think those were the only classes I had to watch Ch. 1 in. Of course, I hardly watched them unless they had something good on which was like a 1 out of 10 shot.

It's not a channel, it's the name of of a school news program. They just call it channel one like what we call FOX News on Fox news channel. And yes I do get it, and yea, it is boring sometimes.

vienna waits · 04-18-2002, 07:53 PM

We watch it at my school but I just talk or whatever because its really boring. Occasionally I watch it if something on there is interesting but most times its stupid. Janet from Real World Seattle is on there though. I thought that was cool. Anyone else going to miss Maria Menudos (I think thats her name)? lol

ILuvJoandBlair · 04-18-2002, 07:57 PM

Nope, I've never even heard of it before.

ISmellFine · 04-18-2002, 07:57 PM

Nope. Never heard of it and I've never watched it.

Yea, today was her last show.

Now we have that weird guy with the "fake" British accent. For anyone who watches it, you know what I'm talking about.

Truth · 04-18-2002, 08:13 PM

Yep Back When I was in Middle school we used to watch it every morning.

Mr. Shy Guy · 04-18-2002, 08:19 PM

That Channel 1 News is so dumb. Nobody in my homeroom watches it.

Montana Ponine · 04-18-2002, 08:58 PM

Channel 1 is snow and static for me.......

dawsongirl · 04-18-2002, 09:02 PM

OMG, YES!! We had to watch it everyday when I was in high school. I watched it back when Lisa Ling and Anderson Cooper were on it.

*Marilyn Monroe* · 04-19-2002, 08:23 AM

I'm gonna miss Maria Menounos, but at least she's leaving for a good job at ET. That fake British accent guy, Errol Barnett or something is dumb. Hlf the kids in our class cant understand what the heck he's saying most of the time.

I was wondering if anyone from our generation had replied yet!

Anyway, I had to watch Channel One all 4 years in high school. I actually liked it somewhat. Sometimes it was laugh out loud funny, and they did a decent job of bring news to a segment of the population that might never watch it otherwise.

I was just gonna tell the younger folks here to remember those Channel 1 faces, and you can recognize them when they get "real" jobs. At least 3 Channel 1 stars from my day went on to other high-profile jobs. Anderson Cooper works for ABC News (though the only time I've ever seen him was on like a 3AM broadcast), Lisa Ling is on The View, and Serena Aschtul (sp? I know I butchered that) was on MTV News, though I haven't seen her for about a year now.

Dawsongirl, so you remember when Lisa Ling went to China? I thought it was hilarious because she was hiding out in some secret room because it's like illegal to broadcast news from China or something, and she was whispering into the camera "It's very dangerous here. If anyone caught us we could be captured, possibly tortured or killed!" I don't even remember why they went there in the first place, I just remember poor frightedned Lisa Ling whispering. And poor Anderson Cooper, they always sent him to the war zones, so he always did his stories with a pile of dead bodies near by, like in Somalia.
