The Broward Education Communications Network (BECON) is the instructional and broadcast television station licensed to the School Board of Broward County, Florida. BECON has a proven history of producing high quality educational and instructional television programming for K-12 students.

Products for statewide distribution would include television programs in broadcast, DVD, and video or Web-streamlined format. Accompanying materials would include teacher guides, interactive classroom activities, and training will be offered for curriculum specialists from all Florida schools on implementation of the programs.
