For many years, television and other media have significantly influenced the daily lives of children and adults. Today, children’s exposure to electronic media begins at birth, so the author chose to investigate what television programmes are offered on Croatian channels, namely, programmes in English and that they are intended for children of early and preschool age. English is the most common language today. It is increasingly used in formal and informal conversation and English loanwords are becoming a part of everyday communication with others. The paper therefore states how often children watch content in English, moreover, how much they are able to watch it on Croatian television channels and how much on others. One chapter in particular deals with the topic of learning a foreign language at an early age through watching television content with a special emphasis on the McGurk effect. The paper also mentions the positive and negative sides of watching television. Furthermore, the differences between synchronization and subtitling and which television content and channels are mainly synchronized, which are in original language and which contents have subtitles. Preliminary research dealt with the questions of how often children watch television screens or other digital devices, when they started using them, and so on. The main research described in this paper analyses the programmes of certain Croatian television channels, namely HRT-HTV 2 and RTL Kockica.
