It was founded by Christopher Whittle, an advertising and marketing executive based in Knoxville, Tennessee. Primedia purchased Channel One for approximately $250 million from Whittle in 1994. The program's first executive producer, Cynthia Samuels, came to Channel One from 9 years at the Today Show. While at Channel One she created Student Producer Week—during which students produced, reported, directed and designed an entire week of programming—Channel One's one hour specials including one in Moscow and Ohio, one in Tokyo and Texas, one in Los Angeles after the Rodney King riots hosted by Arsenio Hall and OneVote—an "election night" for students to vote for President and watch the returns come in live from their classrooms. In December 2007, Channel One's parent company, Primedia, classified its Education Segment, which includes Channel One Network, as a "discontinued operation" and announced that it was "exploring strategic alternatives for" the businesses in that segment.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=MarketWatch - Stock Market Quotes, Business News, Financial News )〕 In 2007 Primedia sold Channel One to Alloy Media and Marketing; on April 23, 2007 Alloy assumed the liabilities of Channel One and took over their assets. In July 2007, NBC News announced that it would be partnering with Alloy under an arrangement in which NBC would work with Channel One News to produce original content for Channel One’s in-school broadcasts, providing Channel One with access to global newsgathering resources. In 2009, CBS News entered into a partnership with Channel One. In 2011, Channel One announced it would offer its daily news program and additional educational, Common Core State Standards (CCSS)-based resources through a subscription-based, advertising-free version, in addition to the traditional version. Channel One was bought by Zelnick Media in 2012. On May 13, 2014, Channel One was sold for the fourth time, this time to an educational and trade publisher named Houghton Mifflin Harcourt. Houghton Mifflin Harcourt acquisition of Channel One was not considered to be material, meaning the price, if any, was insignificant.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Channel One acquisition “not considered to be material” )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Channel One News」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
