The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between television viewing and academic achievement of male students in Kennan secondary schools. Using cluster sampling g' technique, 600 male students selected randomly from the students of high schools in Kennan (N=18760). A questionnaire was used to gather data. A pilot administration showed considerable reliability (a=0.72). 7 experts in education examined the validity of gathering data tool. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics (eg. Pearson correlation coefficient, Chi-square and One-sample Test). Results indicated that there is no significant relationship between television viewing and student academic achievement. Also there is not a significant relationship between favorite programs and student academic achievement and it was revealed that the students prefer more to watch adult programs than specific children programs.
