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).

Oh, right. I guess I wasn't clear. The only reason to have Channel One, IMO, is if you can't/don't want to buy the technology a different way.
Since Georgia had the lottery money for a while to buy technology, I think a lot of the poorer systems were able to get some stuff that they otherwise would have tried to get Channel One to supply.
