Cable stations broadcast Educational television programs at specific times usually early in the morning commercial free and notify Cable in the Classroom as to when the shows will be on. This way, educators are able to record the programs for free and use them in school as learning tools for children. Over the years however, many networks have discontinued any effort at promoting Cable in the Classroom or setting aside programming for the organization s purposes, ceding more to direct marketing of their educational television programming to teachers and school districts via their home video departments, their Internet sites, or in the cases of networks such as ABC Family , The Disney Channel and Cartoon Network , removing their involvement altogether. Another factor has likely been the decline in VHS recorders, as DVR s with non portable storage have become the recording format of choice over DVD recorder s, the equivalent successor to VCRs.

It came into existence on 1 December 1984 and took on its functions with effect from 1 January 1985. Its responsibilities were taken over by the new Independent Television Commission on 1 January 1991. The Authority consisted of a board of members appointed by the Home Secretary under the chairmanship of Richard Burton, former chairman of Gillette UK, and an executive staff headed by Jon Davey as Director General. The Authority had two main functions. The first was the grant of licences, following a competitive franchising procedure, for the provision of services over a new broadband cable system in a specified geographical area. Franchises were to be exclusive, and were granted after examination of the applicants financial capacity and their plans, according to a series of criteria laid down in the Act of Parliament. By the end of the Authority s life, 136 cable franchises had been awarded, embracing about 15 million homes of the 22 million in the UK. The second main function was the regulation of the programme services carried by cable systems. To this end the Authority was required to draw up codes on programme standards covering taste and decency, accuracy and impartiality of news, etc , advertising practice and sponsorship, and then monitor programme services to ensure that the rules were kept. Although this was achieved through the licences granted to cable operators, they were usually but the local retailers of national services, and the Authority s dealings were in practice with those who provided the programme channels.
