This research investigated the amount of time that children from different socio-economic strata spend watching television per week and whether there was a difference among children from low, middle and upper socio-economic strata with regard to viewing programme types, including action adventure, news and information, competitions, sports, paparazzi shows, cartoons, child informative and musical and comedy. Preparing and conducting this investigation involved a survey including TV programme types and the amount of time the participants spent watching television per week. Four hundred and ninety-two primary school children participated. They came from low, middle and upper socio-economic strata from three different primary schools in Turkey. The results indicate that significant differences exist among children from low, middle and upper socio-economic strata with respect to viewing different programme types like action adventure, competitions, paparazzi shows, child informative and musical and comedy, while there was a non-significant difference among the participants from different socio-economic strata in viewing news and information, sports and cartoons. Some implications for further research have been made for prospective researchers. (Contains 3 tables.)
