What happens

Educational Television (ETV) was a series of educational television programmes jointly produced by Radio Television Hong Kong and the Education Bureau (formerly the Education and Manpower Bureau / Education Department) of Hong Kong. ETV had been an auxiliary means for teaching the primary and secondary school curriculum on television since the early 1970s. ETV programmes changed with the curriculum, covering a wide spectrum of topics. Programmes were broadcast during daytime non-peak hours on the English channels of TVB and ATV from Monday to Friday, during the 32 weeks of the school year. As internet popularity increased, ETV has made its programmes available online. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
