Summary

In September 2015, the Beaver Island Chamber of Commerce announced that a new CBS 9&10/Fox 32 television SkyCam on Beaver Island was operational. The Chamber said the camera offered a wide pan including Main Street and linked it from the Visitors Guide; a follow-up credited Island Airways and local volunteers with helping install the camera.

Evidence limits

The forum preserves a first-party launch announcement and installation credits. It does not establish the camera’s continuous operation, broadcast frequency, visitor counts, or the Chamber’s estimated promotional value.

  2. The Chamber announced that a new television SkyCam was operational after two years of work, described a 300-degree pan including Main Street, and credited Island Airways and local helpers with installation support. The Chamber also estimated future exposure and visitor value; those estimates are retained as attributed claims, not independently verified reach or economic impact.
