I wonder if only systems that really don't have money to fund replacement technology have kept up with it down here.
I never heard anything about its bias.

Actually, from what I was reading on the Channel One website, the schools don't have to pay for the technology. If the school signs up and says they'll show Channel One. Then Channel One puts in the TV, the satellite and all the equipment needed to show Channel One in school. All the school really has to do is show it 90% of the school days and give notice to Channel One (usually within 48 hours) if there is some technical difficulty.
If there was a fee to the school, I doubt that my school or any other school here would show Channel One. My school didn't even have enough money to buy enough protractors for the geometry classes (true story...lol).
