Channel One Network Teams Up with CBS News

Channel One Network says it will be teaming up with CBS News to produce its daily newscast for teens.

Starting this fall, CBS News Productions will co-produce "Channel One News," which reaches about 6 million middle- and high-school students nationally each school day.

Each 12-minute broadcast will originate from a newly-designed set at CBS News headquarters in New York, where the "Channel One News" production unit will be based.

Founded in 1989, Channel One was acquired two years ago by Alloy Media and Marketing. Its on-camera alumni include Anderson Cooper and Lisa Ling.

"CBS News is committed to providing outstanding coverage, breaking news, politics and human interest stories across many platforms to many audiences and we view America's youth as a uniquely important audience," said Sean McManus, President, CBS News and Sports.

"Our partnership with Channel One expands our commitment to the next generation by reporting the news stories that are important to teens and sharing their unique insights with other CBS News viewers," he said.
