Summary

Beaver Island TV announced on January 29, 2021, that its website and historical video playlist had been restored after technical work. The announcement said livestreams of meetings and church services had continued during the interruption to historical-video availability.

Evidence limits

This is a first-party media-service notice and a dated playlist snapshot. It does not establish that the playlist was complete, that every listed video remained available, or how many people viewed it.

Sources

  1. The Beaver Island TV editor announced that the site was back on the internet after additional work and that its playlist again included historical and current videos, while livestreams of meetings and church services had continued. The post documents a media-service restoration and playlist snapshot, not archival completeness or viewer statistics.

  2. The editor published a new historical-video playlist that included recent township, school, sports, energy, church, and community programming alongside older island footage. It documents a November playlist snapshot, not a complete archive or continuing availability.

  3. The editor documented successive failures of the historical-broadcast and livestream computers, hard-drive and Windows-update problems, and continuing live-stream access while repairs were attempted. The thread documents an operational interruption and repair effort, not the exact restoration time or long-term equipment state.

  4. The editor reported that the historical-broadcast computers were working again after two laptop failures, new hard drives, and new Windows installations, and published a playlist of meetings, sports, church services, and community programming. A later reply described several days of live streaming, including Northern Lake Michigan Islands Collaborative and energy-independence meetings. This documents a first-party recovery report and playlist snapshot, not independent uptime verification or archive completeness.
