Summary
Beaver Island TV reported that regular broadcasting of at least eight hours per day began in April 2019 and had expanded to almost 24 hours per day by August. The programming combined live local events, such as school volleyball, with historical-video rebroadcasts. A later interruption in the thread was attributed to a telephone-line cut.
