Summary
In January 2019, Beaver Island News on the Net announced an experimental online television service at beaverisland.tv. The editor planned live and recorded coverage of public meetings, church and school events, oral histories, and historical footage. Follow-up notices document several attempted or repeated broadcasts, including local oral-history and school material, while also recording failures involving equipment, routers, and island power outages.
