The channel actively promotes its own website, which the group says has advertised a psychic for $7.49 a minute and promoted another site called gURL.com, which includes such articles as "Reader Hookup Confession: My BF's Mom Caught Me Giving Him Oral Sex!" and "Can Your School Force You To Take A Pregnancy Test?!"

Channel One News, which touts itself as the "leading television news network for teens nationwide," is a 12-minute television program that includes news, feature stories and two minutes of commercials. By contract, schools receive free television equipment from Channel One in exchange for showing the broadcast to its students each day. 

"Our mission is to inform, educate and inspire by making news relevant and engaging for young people and sparking discussion around the important issues impacting youth today," the network says on its website. 

The nonprofit group, however, claims Channel One's mission is to inundate teens with advertisements and other non-educational content, wasting valuable class time.
