Brevard Public Schools Television, or BPS-TV, is the educational access television channel in Brevard County, Florida.

BPS-TV is managed by Brevard Public Schools as part of the office of District Communications, and it's offices are housed in the Digital Media Center at Brevard Community College, the operators of PBS member station WBCC.

BPS-TV can be seen around the clock on:

* Bright House Networks digital channel 198
* Comcast channel 52
* WBCC Digital channel 30.3 / 68.3

On January 19, 2008, Bright House relocated BCC-TV from channel 9 to digital channel 198. This move is partly organizational, grouping BPS-TV with other local and governmental access channels; however, unlike its previous channel position, it would require a digital converter to view.

BPS-TV offers educational programming for students, as well as programs about Brevard County's schools in general. Original programming airs such as BPS News and the Superintendent's Forum. BPS-TV also provides live coverage of each school board meeting. Due to its ties with WBCC, BPS-TV also offers some PBS programming, especially children's programming like Clifford the Big Red Dog and Cyberchase.

The station had a budget for fiscal year 2006-07 budget of $242,246. [http://www.floridatoday.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070724/NEWS01/707240329/1006 retrieved July 24, 2007]
