Two major objectives of the Alternatives in Children's Broadcasting Project were to determine the extent of the influence of violence in children's television and to determine if children's interest in prosocial programming makes it a viable alternative to violence programming. Both adults and 8-10 year old children were surveyed about their viewing habits and preferences and the effects of television on their families. Included are a content analysis of television programs and a literature review. The establishment of a Canadian Communications Center is recommended to facilitate the flow of ideas about children's programming, and to serve evaluative and public awareness functions. Appended are summaries of television programs, and responses to the adult's and children's questionnaires. (STS)
