VH1 MUSIC STUDIO/ CABLE IN THE CLASSROOM PROGRAMMING

As a network member of the Cable in the Classroom initiative, VH1 airs commercial free educational programming for use in the music and cross-curricular classroom each month. By taping the program, teachers can keep the shows and use them at the point and time that most appropriately fits into their curriculum. Programs can be taped on VH1, on the first Tuesday of every month at 4:00 am EST/ 3:00 am CST. Educators should set their VCRs for taping late Monday night. VH1 Music Studio programs are commercial free and copyright cleared for use in the classroom for one year. For a full schedule, please visit www.vh1musicstudio.com.
