[edit] Programming Format

BITE, unlike many other television channels, has no set time blocks for its programming because of its focus on short films. Its content is programmed daily, a month in advance. BITE does this by the Broadview software which allows them to program it how they wish.

The look is also new, by telling the viewer how long that short is, and what the next short is coming up next, and the three shorts that are coming on after that one.
