She only tuned in for a few minutes. Hard for anything to keep the attention of a 6 year old. At first she was really into it "daddy can I watch what you are watching" and then after a few minutes she said "daddy, I am sorry, I don't like your news show".

Your statement about attention reminded me of this article about the creators of CoComelon.

"It’s a small TV screen, placed a few feet from the larger one, that plays a continuous loop of banal, real-world scenes — a guy pouring a cup of coffee, someone getting a haircut — each lasting about 20 seconds. Whenever a youngster looks away from the Moonbug show to glimpse the Distractatron, a note is jotted down."

Pretty dark.
