Bloomington Educational Cable Television

Background
Bloomington Educational Cable Television (or BEC-TV for short) is a local television company operated by Bloomington Public Schools in Bloomington, Minnesota that produces school-based programming such as sports, concerts, and ceremonies for its many schools, including Kennedy High School, Olson Elementary School, Jefferson High School, etc. In the mid-70's, the BEC-TV network was launched, consisting of daytime only programming supplied by WLIN (Lincoln High School), KTAV (Kennedy High School), and WJAG (Jefferson High School). The network can only run during school days when students are around operating the controls. It initially went on the air for at most 2 hours before adding more time later on. In the company's early years, they had no funding until early 1982, when they hired Tom Ringdal. He helped the network by recruiting 7th graders and older across the district in creating more programming for the channel.

1st Logo (April 26, 1983-October 28, 1985)
Logo: On a blue background, on the top left is a "B" with its holes filled and a polygon containing cut-outs of an "E" and a smaller "C". To the right reads: PRODUCED FOR CABLE BY BEC-TV Underneath it all are the credits for some of the program's teleproduction crew.

 * The logo may be superimposed into the end programs.
 * On Oak Grove Theatre Company presents, 'Murders of Montmarie ' , "TELEPRODUCTION CREW" is above the credits portion.

FX/SFX: None.

Music/Sounds: Either a rock tune, none, or the ending of the program.

Availability: Rare. Thanks to BEC-TV's occasional reruns of several choir and sports programs from this period as well as their availability on BEC-TV's on-demand website and home media, it is actually not very hard to find.
 * One of its first appearances was on the 1983 Jefferson Knight Thyme Singers Concert whereas its last was on an October 28, 1985 girl's soccer match part of the Girl's Soccer Section Championship.
 * The superimposed variant was seen on a September 21, 1984 football match between Kennedy and Jefferson and the 1984 Kennedy Choir Holiday Show.
 * The title card variant was so far mostly seen on sports programs such as a January 15, 1985 hockey match between Kennedy and Jefferson as well as the aforementioned October 1985 girl's soccer match.
 * The off-air variant was seen before and after programs would air. This was only used during the 1983-1984 season before being replaced by the 3rd logo. However, it did appear at either the beginning or ending of on-demand prints of the Kennedy JB Singers Show and the Kennedy Choir Pops Concert, both from 1984.
 * There are several programs that do not use this logo, specifically elementary school productions as well as a couple of sports and concert events, most namingly the 1983 Kennedy Choir Holiday Show, as they either start and end with their own title cards with no BEC indicator whatsoever or logos from a different channel/company such as KTAV.

2nd Logo (March 9, 1984-June 5, 1985)
Logo: An in-credit notice containing the logo from before with "A PRODUCTION/PRESENTATION OF" before it.

Variants:
 * An animated version exists where it starts off with four copies of the BEC logo on all corners of the screen before multiplying with no animation in-sync with the music. After that, the large letters "BEC" appear one at a time before the group of BEC logos wipes with a clock effect to the standard logo.

Music/Sound Variant: On the BEC survey tape, we hear a catchy funk tune with an announcer saying "BEC, Bloomington Educational Cable, with a local access channel".

Availability: Rare.
 * Similar to the off-air variant of the 1st logo, it was seen when no program was being broadcasted. Despite it not being a production logo, it was kept on the end of many programs from this period, whether if it's on DVD copies or through BEC-TV's Request-A-Rama airings. This logo usually appears several seconds after the end of these programs, but can otherwise not appear at all due to BEC-TV's on-demand prints of some of these programs ending seconds before this logo can appear.
 * The animated variant was only seen on a survey tape from the company.
 * The closing variant is easier to find and was seen on The Puberty Zone, the 1985 Kennedy JB Singers Show, and a March 14, 1987 boys' basketball quarterfinals game between Jefferson and Minnetonka.
 * As for the pattern variant, it was usually seen on some elementary and middle school productions such as the Westwood 2nd Grade Dinosaurs Concert and the Valley View 3rd/4th Grade Don't Let the Music Stop Concert, both of which are from 1988. It was also seen on at least one high school program: the 1986 and 1989 Kennedy Marching Band Concerts. In fact, this variant was used more than the standard logo in the late 80's.

 * Seen on thousands of sports, fine arts, and special events programming from the Bloomington Public School district over the course of over 25 years. This logo can be seen during airtime on live television and reruns of said programming on the BEC-TV channel in Bloomington or on live streaming within either said network's website or Facebook page. As with the previous logos, they can be seen via BEC-TV's Request-A-Rama airings and are archived on BEC-TV's on-demand website. They are also obtainable through DVD copies of their many programs on their aforementioned on-demand website.
 * The logo's first appearance was on a March 6, 1993 boys' hockey semifinal game between Jefferson and Edina.
 * In its early years, particularly the 90's, it was rather uncommon as it was mostly used during certain sports programs such as hockey (except for the 1994 Jefferson v. Burnsville: Boys Hockey Championship Game) and baseball events. Other sports broadcasts such as those featuring football used the BEC Sports logo while the rest like concerts and other special events, especially graduation specials, used a simple in-credit notice. However, some special and concert programming like the 1993 Kennedy Homecoming Coronation and the 1995 Kennedy Choir Holiday Show broadcasts used this logo.
 * It became more frequently used in the 2000s when most programs switched over to this logo. At this point, all of the Jefferson Connection Specials had this logo from 2000 to 2009 as well as many concert specials from both Kennedy and Jefferson such as the 2002 and 2003 Jefferson Choir Orchestra Holiday Concerts and the 2004 and 2008 Kennedy Rhythm in Gold Shows.
 * In the early 2010's, most programs have switched to the 7th logo, making this logo's appearances during this period to be rather infrequent. It was still seen on a few programs such as YRU-UP shows and the 2014 Bloomington Prom Red Carpet special albeit using the rare cyan-colored variant.
 * The logo would make a comeback in the late 2010's when for unknown reasons, several specials such as the Jefferson Choral Concerts in fall and winter, the Bloomington Prom Red Carpet Reviews, and more switched back to this logo after using the 7th logo for a while. One of its first appearances in a while was on a January 16, 2016 Kennedy High School boys' basketball match at Jefferson High School.
 * Throughout its lifespan, this logo was never present on elementary or middle school shows as they would simply end with a title card of their respective programming. In fact, programming ending with their title cards or simply dipping to black was common then and now. This is the case for Star Power shows as well as some concert shows like the 2009 Lion's Gate Academy A Light Shines in the Darkness Concert and Christian concerts such as the Nativity of Mary concerts. It was also not seen on episodes of High School Quiz Bowl.
 * The 1994 variant was seen on two programs so far: a January 8 hockey match and a June 1 baseball match between the Kennedy Hawks and Jefferson Jaguars, both of which are from 1994.
 * The 1995 variant was seen on choir concert shows such as the 1995 Kennedy Choir Holiday Show, both the 1996 and 1997 Kennedy Choir Pops Concerts, and the 1996 JB Singers Show, among others.
 * The 2004 variant is very rare and was used on only a few programs: the 2004 and 2008 Kennedy Rhythm in Gold Shows and the JFK@40 Alumni Concert. This variant was exclusively used for Kennedy High School programs as evident by the school's logo within the notice and also for concert programs.
 * The variants with the channel's current name had one of its first appearances on the 2020 Jefferson Outdoor Marching Band Concert Music of the 80s. It was also seen on both Inside Football series as well as graduation ceremonies beginning 2021. As for the standard 2021 variant, it was seen on special events such as the 2021 Metro South ABE Graduation, the 2021 and 2022 Bloomington Prom Red Carpet Reviews, and the 2021 Bloomington United for Youth Volunteer Recognition Ceremony. Currently, events labeled as "special events" such as graduations, homecomings, and red carpet productions are the only ones that still use this logo.
 * The split-screen sports variants are fairly common and was seen on football broadcasts from 2005 to 2010 and 2018 to 2019. The football variant was spotted on an October 29, 2005 semifinal match between Jefferson and Minnetonka and a September 26, 2008 match between Jefferson and Kennedy. Many football broadcasts would use this logo until 2010, when it switched over to the 7th logo. However, it reused this logo eight years later for its Friday Night Football programs, but this time would be short lived. Besides football, only basketball and soccer programs would use these variants (some sports like girls' soccer before 2018, swimming, and gymnastics, uses a non-themed variant) and they wouldn't use this logo until the late 2010's. Basketball broadcasts have the 1993 logo from 2016 to 2018 and then a short time in 2019 whereas soccer programs used it in 2017 to 2019. By that time, all of the sports programs have used the 9th logo. Park TV's airings of these broadcasts end with their own end credits and logo.
 * Graduation specials from Kennedy, Jefferson, and Edina High School also used this logo during 2002 to 2009 and 2021 and onwards. Do not expect this or the 7th logo to appear on their 2020 graduation specials since they were virtual events due to the COVID-19 pandemic and ended with a "Happy Grduation" card.
 * Inside Kennedy Football began using this logo in 2018 and was featured on every show since except for the September 4, 2018 episode. Inside Jefferson Football would follow suit beginning its September 11, 2018 episode.
 * It was also seen on the 2019 and 2020 Jefferson Homecoming Coronations using a split-screen variant. The 2018 coronation, on the other hand, uses the WJAG-TV logo instead of the BEC-TV logo.

FX/SFX: Same as before.

Music/Sounds: The ending of the program.

Availability: No longer current, but still easy to find on BEC-TV's on-demand website.
 * The logo was very commonly used throughout the 2010's, but very later in the decade as more programs reverted back to the 5th logo, it appeared less frequently and was rarely seen in its last years, especially when the channel rebranded itself to "Bloomington Educational Community Television".
 * The Jefferson Connection Specials were the first to use this logo and was seen on all shows except for the 2013 show, which simply fades to a black screen. Other programs that have this logo includes the Kennedy Choral Holiday concerts from 2013 to 2021, Bloomington Prom Red Carpet Reviews from 2011 and 2013, and the 2017 and 2018 Bloomington Heritage Days Parade. On the other hand, some later choir productions from this period such as the Kennedy Choir 2018 Holiday Show uses an in-credit notice within a lime bar.
 * The final program to use the normal 2010 logo was a June 5, 2019 girls' lacrosse semifinal match between Edina and Jefferson and the last to use this logo altogether was the 2021 Kennedy Choir Holiday Show.
 * The 2010 variant was mostly seen on concerts such as the 2010 Jefferson Connection Special, the 2014 Kennedy Rhythm in Gold Annual concert, and both the 2013 and 2014 Kennedy Choir Holiday Shows.
 * This logo was often used in sports broadcasts with various sports from football and baseball to even lacrosse, wrestling, and softball using their respective themed split-screen variants. Football broadcasts would use one from around this logo's debut to 2018, when they were rebranded as "Friday Night Football". However, this sport would reverted back to the 5th logo later in 2018. Some baseball and lacrosse broadcasts used this logo from 2017 to 2019 and later games of wrestling, hockey, and football also include the 2010 logo. However, earlier wrestling matches from 2018 as well as volleyball games used the standard variants and as stated before, Park TV's broadcasts end with their own credits and logo. Others simply end with a final score card.
 * The graduation variants were likewise used for most of this logo's lifespan, being used throughout the decade from 2010 to 2019. The Edina High School variants are the rarest to find due to only a few broadcasts being available on BEC-TV's website that contain this logo: the 2017 and 2019 graduations. The 2018 graduation broadcast uses an in-credit notice instead of this logo.
 * It was also seen on both Inside Kennedy Football and Inside Jefferson Football from their debuts in 2014 to November 2, 2017 and August 28, 2018 respectively. However, there are a few episodes that don't include this logo such as the September 12, 2017 show, which ends with the BEC's social media websites. Other shows may end with a title card of the episode containing the 5th logo.
 * It also appeared on the Olson 8th Dolce Winter Choir Concert, which is considered surprising given that like with the previous logos, there isn't a BEC logo on elementary or middle school programs.
 * The brighter BEC variant was seen on winter concerts throughout holiday 2019 and winter 2020 such as the 2019 and 2021 Kennedy Choirs Holiday Show, Jefferson's choral holiday show in 2019 as well as the latter school's winter orchestra concert in 2020.

8th Logo (June 14, 2018-June 12, 2019)
Logo: Fading in from the final shot of the program, we see multiple gold objects rapidly flipping and spinning on its z-axis and changing images every time on a sand gradient background. The objects disappear and then an outline of a gold city with a black stroke flips in with "Arial" fading and zooming in while also changing colors to white. The picture of the city then flips down and shows the next image. The pattern appears to happen with the rest of the channel's name, with "EDUCATIONAL" showing a repeated set of books in varying shades of yellow, "CABLE" showing a realistic image of a camera dyed gold, and "TELEVISION" revealing a 2D black television with its tube and buttons in gold. Once the TV falls, the text becomes gold and fades out, making room for the 2010 BEC logo in a black box with a gold stroke and "THIS HAS BEEN A" and "PRODUCTION" over and under it to fall to the ground, bouncing a little bit once making contact. Finally, as the background fades to black, the logo falls down.

Variant: On the 2019 Senior Achievement Awards, the logo begins with the BEC logo falling.

FX/SFX: Simple animation.

Music/Sounds: A modern and catchy electronic tune in the background. Whooshes are heard when the different objects appears and then a light hit sound when the logo lands on the ground. On the 2019 Senior Achievement Awards, it's the ending theme.

9th Logo (September 6, 2019-)
Logo: In-line with the credit animation, a box in a shade of black with a white outline grows and displays the 1993 BEC logo on the top right and Copyright (year) BEC-TV to the left of it. A thin white line divides this section of the box with the bottom details, reading Bloomington Educational Cable Television www.bectv.org (952) 681 5900

Variant: Starting September 15, 2020, the box is in a different shade of black and most of the text is capitalized. "Cable Television" is changed to "COMMUNITY TELEVISION", the channel's name has a thin white line underneath, and the phone number removed the parentheses and added dashes in between the numbers.

FX/SFX: The box forming and the text fading in.

This logo is not seen on some sports programs such as the October 30, 2020 football match between Kennedy and St. Croix Lutheran as they use an alternate credits graphic.

10th Logo (October 16, 2019-)
Logo: On a gradient background with multiple shades of said color, four pieces are shown sliding from different directions: a box with a copy of the background containing "©(year) BEC-TV" and a dark grey box containing the 1993 BEC logo including its full name scrolling from the left and a dark grey rectangular box and the website link sliding from the right. Combined, the square box with the BEC logo is on top of the bottom rectangular box with the website link centered within it.

Currently, it is used in tandem with the next logo, as it is also used on fine arts programs.

11th Logo (February 26, 2020-)
Logo: On a gray pattern consisting of light stripes and circles varying in thickness and color between gray and catawba, during the end credits of a program, a few boxes slide away to reveal the 2010 logo with "Arial" on top and  Copyright (year) www.bectv.org - 952-681-5900 bectv@bectv.org below it, all in white with the whole notice inside a grey box with a dark gradient on the bottom. On top of it reads "Arial" also in white and this time in a catawba bar with a dark gradient on the bottom.

Variants:
 * In 2022, the text size for the bottom text was tweaked where the email link is closer to the rest of the bottom information rather than aligned to the bottom of the box and "Copyright" is now all lowercase.
 * On spring 2021 productions, the boxes have a shade of lime, the font for the white text is set to Arial Black, the copyright date now starts with a copyright symbol, and like the previous variant, the email link is closer to the website and phone number.
