BDTV Accomplishments

When you tune into news and entertainment in New York, Los Angeles, Indianapolis, Fort Wayne, Fayetteville, Arkansas, or Columbus, Ohio- you will see BDTV alumni displaying diligence, discipline, and effort on the air or behind the camera. You will also be entertained by several BDTV alumni working in the film, corporate, and digital media industry throughout the country and world.

These young men and women took advantage of the opportunity afforded to them in high school and turned their passion into a profession. They are GREAT examples of what BDTV will and is built from: DDE-diligence, discipline and effort!!

In fact, this year one of our BDTV alumni and Los Angeles film makers, Sam Utley ’12 served on the Oscar Award-winning special effects team for “Avatar-The Way of Water”. BDTV will continue to produce servant-leaders and instill the characteristics of diligence, discipline, and effort to current and future agents of change!

BDTV produces content for their Bendavistelevision YouTube channel and streams live events.
