Beaver Island News on the 'Net

[medic5740]

What we do: Attempt to live stream and record most public meetings; live stream church services and/or record them for posting later; post daily weather, word of the day, and on this day history; post pictures and video of local events; post historical video for viewing; check on wildlife and record wildlife actions, specifically birds, but others when possible; and attempt to present all the documents for all the public meetings in a timely manner. This is done through four websites including one to direct viewers to the other three; Beaver Island News on the 'Net, Beaver Island News on the 'Net Archives, and Beaver Island TV.

Most of the businesses have been contacted. It would be nice to have some renewals, and some new subscribers, so that this service can continue, but the majority of the members of our local Chamber are not subscribers. There will be no way to continue without the support of at least some of these businesses.

While it might not be good business practice to admit this, it is essential for you to know that all this live streaming of meetings and church services, the recorded video access including historical video, Beaver Island News on the 'Net, Beaver Island News on the 'Net Archives, and Beaver Island TV, are not even close to breaking even, and a serious discussion about removing some services is underway. After ten years of losing money, it is time make a decision.

So, if you appreciate the timely access to meetings, church services, and island events, as well as the access to all public documents, it might be a good idea to subscribe and ask some of the Beaver Island businesses to subscribe, so that this service can continue. The Beaver Island TV website has a donate button also. This sports season, Beaver Island TV only received one donation for providing the sporting events live on the Internet.
