Core Programming
Magazine Format

And you should be able to answer these questions after reading chapter 5:

1. Why don't the networks cancel the low-rated Sunday morning public affairs programs? Why have they remained on the air for so many decades?

2. According to your textbook, what are the requirements for children's programming?

3. Why are "the big four" networks still doing children's programming on Saturday mornings? How has the role of these nets changed in the selection of actual children's series that are broadcast on Sat AM?

4.Sports programming rights are expensive. Still, why do most programmers feel that the decision to acquire these rights have to do with much more than just the profit and loss ratio of the sports programming itself?
