Okay, color me clueless, but I had no idea they had TV stations and radio stations exclusively for schools and school buses, never mind that the contracts require these stations to be played.  But wait, it gets better - the contracts also bar parents from reviewing the content!!!  So - they've got a captive audience of teens and preteens, and while they may be showing news, they are also featuring questionable content and marketing.   And the parents don't get the opportunity to see what's being forcefed to their kids.  This is a good enough reason all on its own, in my opinion, to keep my kids off the bus and out of those classrooms.
