What type of content did CCET suggest should be added to educational television?

The choice regarding classical art and theater aligns with the CCET's mission to enrich educational television by incorporating high-quality cultural content. By promoting classical art and theater, educational television can help viewers deepen their understanding and appreciation of artistic expressions that have significantly influenced culture and society over time. This addition supports an educational foundation where viewers can explore historical, cultural, and aesthetic dimensions, fostering a more well-rounded worldview.

In contrast to this choice, reality shows often prioritize entertainment and sensationalism over educational value, meaning they may not fulfill the purpose of enriching educational content. Sports programming, while engaging, typically focuses more on entertainment and competition rather than educational themes. Similarly, while news coverage and commentary can be informative, they may lack the artistic and cultural focus that classical art and theater provide.
