BTV Me

BTV Me is a sister channel of Banushen Television. It was launched in 2014. BTV Me is aimed at kids and teenagers ages 7-16.

History
The channel was proposed at the 2013 Matsushita family conference by Yoko Matsushita as a channel for extra family programming and the new home for Saturday Banushen (however the block stayed on Banushen Television until BTV Me's launch), with the block being replaced by the morning talk show, Studio B. The development and creation of the channel was done over a 5-week period, and was considered rushed by critics.

The channel launched on February 20, 2014, with Tami Amino and Johnny J. Mason hosting the channel's first day on air. BTV Me received major controversy at its launch, due to breaking a long tradition for Banushen Television with the removal of children's programming and because development of the channel resulted in internal fights over which Studio B's direction should have taken. Several suggested it be a morning talk show like RGN's Good Morning El Kadsre and El TV Kadsre 1's Breakfast, however Yoko wanted it to be similar to the defunct British children's block in it's early days with airing children's programming in addition to "what teens would watch". In the end, it was decided Studio B would have child-oriented segments to compromise and to save Banushen Television's ratings from greatly dropping.

The channel's on-air look is created by El Design Group.

Programming
Shows aired on BTV Me include new shows and shows already airing or having aired as part of Studio B and the original Saturday Banushen.
