Educational Systems Programming, or ESP, is a not-for-profit organization engaged in distance learning and cyberspace entrepreneurial activities at Northern Arizona University. ESP began its work in 1990 with the creation of educational and training programs in a variety of electronic media. At that time, ESP delivered the Elementary Spanish programs via live C-band satellite broadcast. Since its inception, ESP has widened its range of educational products, and is constantly producing new programs, including the Beginning Tai Chi with Patrick Martin and the educación española series.

Downlinks
Downlink transmissions from C-Band or KU-Band satellites may be routed to a conference room on the NAU campus that has an NAU cable TV drop, recorded onto videotape, or both. Downlinks can currently be received in Analog format. Digital receipt of satellite transmissions is currently unavailable. Clients are responsible for reserving a "viewing" room or conference room in which to watch the satellite broadcast. Viewing facilities are available in the du Bois Conference Center, the University Union, or the Cline Library.
