Globalization gave rise to television, a significant source of instructional enrichment. It offers more comprehensive, advanced, and varied knowledge and instruction. Television has received a lot of flak for having a detrimental effect on secondary school pupils' academic achievement. Watching television could start to compete with studying time and eventually lead to poorer academic achievement. In this study, our aim was to identify the determinants of viewing Kana television programs on academic performance. To meet the objective, of the 1658 students, 138 were selected as a sample by using stratified random sampling. We gathered information from the sample of students by using primary and secondary data collection methods. Multiple linear regressions were used for data analysis, considering academic performance (the average mark after watching Kana TV) as the response variable. According to the descriptive statistic, 46.4% of students are males, and the remaining 53.6% are females because the total population of females is higher than males. 51.4% of students live in urban areas, and the remaining 48.6% live in rural area. 60.9% of students have access of satellite television and 39.1% of students have no access to satellite television. The major significant factors that affect the academic performance of students are age, religion, income, parent’s follow-up (father’s follow-up), access to satellite television, addiction to Kana television programs, and time spent.
