Programming features a wide range of styles and formats, from serious interviews on local government and city issues, to innovative shows created by the imaginative students. Since its inception in 1998, Batavia Access Television (BATV) has provided the community of Batavia with free, noncommercial television production and related services including video production equipment and facilities, professional assistance, and cablecasting of non-commercial, public, government, and education programs.
