The study was about to find out the impact of cable television network on children’s socialization. The main objective of the study was to determine the relationship between violent programs and aggression among children as well as to find out the affects of cable television on children’s educational outcome. The population of the present study was parents from District Sargodha and multistage sampling technique was used for the selection of tehsil, union councils as well as respondents by adopting simple random sampling technique and convenient sampling technique at different stages. The data was collected by structured questionnaire and SPSS was used for data analysis. The data was analyzed by univariate analysis and bi-variate analysis i.e., chi-square test was applied for hypothesis testing. Results showed that cable television is highly influenced on the socialization of the children as violent behavior is caused due to greater exposure to violent programs. It is also found that it becomes the reason of reducing parent-children interaction pattern due to greater interest in spending time while watching television programs. It is also found that it is a cause of learning uncultured language/words from that programs and children could not pay proper attention on their educational performance as well.
