Channel One News is an advertising-based, about 40-50 minute educational videos for United States television news program that public and private schools show their students in exchange for the loan of TV equipment. Schools that participate in Channel One sign a contract to air the program in exchange for free television equipment, VCRs, and the Channel One Connection video library.
Channel One's home base moved to New York City, the program's original home, for 2007-2008. It previously originated from Los Angeles and Washington, DC. Channel One recently launched the Livewire Video Portal for ongoing news delivery. Also, for the 2008 year, Chris Brown was removed from his position as anchor.
