 BGTV is what is known as a PEG channel. PEG stands for public, educational and government access channel and can be seen on Comcast channel 28 inside the Beech Grove city limits, and AT&T U-verse Channel 99 throughout Central Indiana. BGTV began back in 1983 with only 2 hours of monthly programming. 2008 was the 25th year for BGTV. BGTV is the only media outlet that is 100% dedicated to the city of Beech Grove.
 BGTV attends and broadcasts public municipal meetings each month. Every meeting is either shown live on the channel and replayed throughout the month, or recorded and replayed. In addition to the meetings being replayed on BGTV, the meetings are also digitized and uploaded to the Internet which allows the programs to be viewed on a computer.
