The TV monitors are installed in classrooms, conference rooms, offices, hallways, dining halls and the Preschool Center.
ESTV has its own intro and logo.
ESTV programs are being aired from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.
ESTV’s main objective is to engage in the learning process. ESTV’s television schedule is planned ahead as teachers choose particular days and periods to air relevant footage. Scientific, documentary and fictional video clips help students thoroughly comprehend their study material.
As a creative & study lab, ESTV consists of a newsroom, production control room and voiceover studio. Students learn the basics of broadcast journalism and different television techniques and put their ideas into action.
Other than the weekly news show “ES News,” ESTV broadcasts various programs:
- Big Break with Mari
- Liza’s Top Ten
- Hidden Camera Pranks
- Lunch with Ika
- Who Is First?
- Zuka’s Show

ESTV also offers documentary movies depicting school life.
At the end of every month, ESTV reporters prepare a TV show “Meeting with the Principal.” The TV show is broadcast live.
Every last Wednesday of October, ESTV airs an annual contest “My Class” and announces three winners in respective categories: the Best Reporter, the Best Host and the Best Director.
