In 2011, Banger Films started a YouTube channel, Bangertv. Most of the channel's content for the first four years of its existence were interviews and trailers of documentaries. Starting in 2015, Bangertv started making album reviews (including tag team/no beef reviews) and hosting weekly live streams. They have since also started a "Best of" series for certain years in the history of Heavy Metal. As of February 2022, Bangertv has 334,000 subscribers.[3]
The company's 2014 film Super Duper Alice Cooper won the Canadian Screen Award for Best Feature Length Documentary at the 3rd Canadian Screen Awards in 2015.[4]
