BTV is Banting’s weekly live broadcast on YouTube. Every Friday morning, we stream a 5–10 minute show from our TV studio. The broadcast includes school announcements, PSAs, features, and creative segments.
This isn’t just practice — it’s a real show for a real audience (students, teachers, parents, the community). That makes BTV the heart of TGJ3/4M.
