RTHK produces programmes on seven school ETV subjects for the Education Bureau (EDB) which are aired via the two local terrestrial television stations on weekdays from 10 a.m. to 12 noon and 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. during school term. The programmes can also be viewed online at ‘eTVonline’ (www.eTVonline.tv) and on VCDs/DVDs distributed to schools.
