Work

🎬 Welcome to a behind-the-scenes look at BCTV — Bloomfield Township’s local studio — and our 25-year partnership with the Birmingham Area Cable Board (BACB)! In this video, we explore how BCTV supports government transparency, covers community events, and produces high-quality sports broadcasts across area communities, including Bingham Farms, Beverly Hills, the Village of Franklin, and Birmingham. From municipal meetings to high school rivalries, our mission is to bring professional, accessible coverage to residents who can’t always attend in person. With a skilled team made up of industry professionals — many who also work major Detroit sporting events — we deliver broadcasts with multiple camera angles, real-time commentary, and postgame interviews. Whether it's football, wrestling, swimming, or parades — if it matters to your community, we’re proud to help share it. Plus, learn more about our operations manager, Steve Rota, whose leadership and technical expertise help power our productions and keep everything running smoothly. 🟢 Why this matters: PEG programming (Public, Education, and Government) isn’t just about coverage — it’s about connection. Tune in to see how local TV helps build community, one production at a time.#bctv #peg #publicaccess #highschoolsports #football #basketball #bloomfieldtownship #birmingham #beverlyhills #franklinvillage #binghamfarms
