In San Antonio, unfortunately, there is no station that currently carries "Teen Kids News". It does air across the country in syndication--on Fox 5 in New York and on ABC7 in Los Angeles, just to name two major stations. The show is always criticized for being cheesy, but it's decent educational TV. There's no sexual innuendo, violence, or profanity to take away from the quality of the show.

What Parents Need to Know
About Teen Kids News
Parents need to know that this topical news show is geared for 13- to 16-year-olds. Topics cover a wide range -- from hard-hitting facts about the Iraq war and life after Sept. 11 to ways to tell whether a boy or girl is right for you -- and are usually specifically tailored toward the teen audience: What if there's a draft? How has the SAT changed? How can you look your best when visiting colleges? The show is anchored and reported completely by teens (both boys and girls) from a range of diverse backgrounds. Some topics may be difficult for sensitive younger teens, and some mature teens may find the format corny -- but for most, this series presents a peer-oriented opportunity for them to learn about real happenings in their world.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the specific stories that are covered in each episode. Teens interested in a particular topic may want to dig up more information on the Internet or via a trip to the library. Mostly, parents need to be aware of potentially sensitive topics and make sure that kids who are exposed to these stories understand what's going on -- and have a chance to ask their own questions.
