		Television advertisers, who basically pay the networks for programs through the purchase of air time for their ads, cannot be taken for granted; there are more outlets than ever fiercely competing for their ad accounts.

	Television and Literacy
		Television is a huge market: political candidates use it to persuade constituents, corporations to sell products, civil groups for public service announcements, and the military to get soldiers.
		In fact educational television, such as the Discovery channel or the History channel, tends to increase the scores on print exposure tests and general ability along with cultural knowledge.
		These two factors are capable of reversing the negative effects of television and allow a new generation of children to increase literacy with the aid of technology.

	The Foundation's Radio and Television Grants, 1987-1997
		How it has worked with radio and television between 1987 and 1997 is the subject of this chapter.
		Worse, as the industry increasingly recognizes, public television stations do not act like a network; just because PBS is feeding a program at a particular time, local stations across the country may not air it then, or ever.
		Although grants for television and radio are a small percentage of the Foundation's total grant portfolio, in terms of what people see and hear that they associate with the Foundation and the issues it cares about, they are an important component.

		Structural equations analyses suggested that television viewing inhibited the development of children's reading comprehension in both 1-year intervals of the study.
		Television's inhibitory effect on reading comprehension was not sensitive to children's IQ and socioeconomic status, but did depend on types of programs watched.
		Partial support was found for two causal mechanisms underlying television's inhibitory effect on reading comprehension: (a) a television-induced reduction in leisure-time book reading and (b) a television-induced depreciation of reading.

	Special Report -- 4/6/1998 -- Faith in a Box--Entertainment Television on Religion-1997
		Last year, the news media noted the increase in television shows that regularly had at least something to do with religion.
		Generally, these results resemble those of 1996, when we also found a 2-1 positive/negative breakdown overall; a clear majority of positive depictions of faith; a clear plurality of positive portrayals of religious institutions and doctrines; overwhelming anti-laity sentiment; and a narrow victory for positive treatments of the clergy.
		On the other, historic hand, television has slighted faith to such an extent that more programs with religious characters who openly and frequently discuss religion still are needed in order to undo many years of neglect and hostility.
