In this study, I have researched and compared the degrees of satisfaction on children's programs of parents and producers. Factors such as interest, helpfulness, completeness, ethicality, appropriateness of classification were taken into account in calculating the degrees of satisfaction. Although the degrees of satisfaction of the 407 parents and 65 producers who participated in the study were slightly higher than average, statistically there were no significant differences. However, in some particular genres such differences were found; for animations, producers were more satisfied than parents, and for cultural programs, the otherwise was true.
On the other hand, the attitudes of the two groups toward the production environment of children's programs also showed statistically significant gaps. First, producers tended to watch children's programs more than parents did. Second, compared to parents, producers claimed more strongly that the amount of children's programs was insufficient. Third, producers thought that the degree of satisfaction of children towards children's programs was low, while parents thought that children were content with the programs. Fourth, both groups claimed that the variety of children's programs was low.
In conclusion, through this study, it was found out that there were no significant differences between the degrees of satisfaction toward children's programs of parents and producers except in some genres, while such differences were found in attitudes toward the production environment of children's programs.
