Go check out my buddy ‪@BNSTC1‬ for more great content. He’s back at a new channel with the same content you’ve come to expect from him. He also helps me out time to time with some of our uploads. If you enjoy what you see, there’s more where that came from!

I am aware of KGO launching its new graphics. I am currently on vacation in the middle of the ocean and am unable to capture stations at this time. I will bring you my take on this next week.

Also, I’m aware of the Broadcast Plaza link currently being down, this will be fixed for Studio 31’s audience next week.

Sorry for the inconvenience on both counts.

Studio 31 would like to congratulate its partner Discord server, Broadcast Plaza, on reaching 500 members! We here are pleased that Broadcast Plaza has become the preeminent media discussion platform in less than a year.

Here is an excerpt of the statement released by our amazing server owner, Shaq C., earlier today:

"500 MEMBERS!!!!!!!!!!!

"It's only been 2 months since we hit 400, but we have already hit a huge milestone here at Broadcast Plaza. We are 500 MEMBERS STRONG!! This solidifies us as the largest media community on Discord!

"I do not take for granted the fact that the staff of Broadcast Plaza consists of 3 very diverse people, from 3 different countries and ethnic backgrounds. This gives us a unique opportunity to reach people of all kinds, which is what this is all about. Big shout out to [our moderators] for helping me out and for supporting our efforts.

" I want to give a huge thanks our Industry Professionals who grace us with their presence every day with their unique insight, humor, and shop talk. We treat them with care because they deserve nothing but. You all make the news industry a worthwhile one to be a fan of. Keep fighting the good fight, reporting the facts, serving your communities. We need you, now more than ever.

"Finally, to all our members. You all rock. I know there are many choices for media servers to choose from but I am thankful you chose this one. I appreciate everyone, and I wish we all could come together as like minded individuals and share the intricacies and nuances of this business on one accord. I appreciate you spending your time with us and I hope you will continue to do so. Thank you so much.

-Shaq,
Server Owner"

Was honored to be interviewed by my friend ‪@Sachland‬ for his podcast “Sachairi and Peaches Show”. I discussed my recent hiatus, the copyright issues I and other archivists are currently facing, and what the future of this channel could be. Please check the interview out!

Studio 31 once again apologizes to you for this hiatus that has been imposed on us but I promise you this is necessary for me. We'll continue to provide periodic updates about what's next, and some original content in the meantime, so please stick with us the next months as we work to regain your trust.

Some of you have asked where you can see the lost videos. I am working on something and reveal more when I'm ready. Studio 31 acknowledges the companies' abilities to remove content for any reason and realizes the amount of content we were using (full shows versus just small snippets like opens/promos, etc) was likely the reason for this. There could also have been some things I have said in my analysis about stations that might have rubbed people the wrong way. Moving forward, I will no longer be providing analysis about any station in my descriptions. On the positive side, this will ensure much faster turnaround for new uploads in 2024, both sticking with short clips as well as no longer providing commentary, unless it is positive. We'll also be avoiding any content from KTUU or Cox Media Group moving forward on any affiliated channel.

While we don't agree with all of this, this is above my level to deal with and these changes are needed to ensure the long-term sustainability of the important work we do, at least here on the YouTube platform. This platform has allowed me to build a successful brand in the niche of media archiving and I would like to continue this important work for years to come.

All I've ever wanted to do was archive media, something I've been passionate about since I was young. Hopefully with some hard lessons learned the past couple weeks, and some valuable ones too, I can re-emerge in three to four months with a much improved product and user experience for you all.

Once more, I greatly apologize to anyone who had seen our original video. If we ever cast the industry in a bad light, I am sorry. That was never my goal. The broadcast journalism industry, while it is a rapidly evolving one, is one which does important work every day, and it was never my intention to do anything that would hurt it or myself. One of the major tenets of journalism is to "minimize harm" and I failed in that pursuit big time. I promise to, and will, do better moving forward. You have my word on it.

IN THE MEANTIME... I'm not alone in this journey. If you enjoy my content, I suggest the following:

SUBSCRIBE to the Forward Broadcast Archive which will continue our important mission during this hiatus: ‪@ForwardBroadcastArchive‬

You can also check out the Rewind Broadcast Archive at ‪@31Rewind‬ which will continue documenting past television marvels.

JOIN the Broadcast Plaza Discord server at discord.gg/broadcastplaza/ ! This is the #1 broadcast server devoted to discussing all things news media and beyond. And as of this week, it is the only INDEPENDENT server devoted to broadcast media run by my good friends. I will vouch for the two who run it, as they are two of my closest friends and really had my back when I needed it. This is a great, toxic-free server where we all just have a great time and talk about the news about the news.

While we're talking about BP, S31MA, 31 Rewind, BB, and Forward are all PROUD BP server partners, which means that we will promote the server as well as provide content to them.

The following are other BP server partners. Not only should you check them out, but you should watch them as they are all QUALITY (no Bandicam) channels doing similar types of videos to here and will help fill the void while S31MA takes some time off:

‪@Emarsee‬
‪@EmarseePlus‬
‪@redtekki‬
@Shaq C.
‪@Sachland‬
‪@susqradioarchive‬
‪@susqtelevisionarchive‬
‪@topicaltvarchives‬
‪@CIRQArchives‬
‪@friesareyummy‬
‪@northcarolinaradio‬

If you made it this far, THANK YOU for sticking by me during this time. I've been going through a lot, as I detailed in my most recent video. Your support and continued viewing when I return sometime in 2024 will mean a lot to me!

Until next time, take care of yourself and each other!

Jim

If you haven’t subbed to the warehouse yet, please do so! This is our temporary home until January if you don’t want to miss any content!

I’ll have at least one upload tonight.

‪@ForwardBroadcastArchive‬

Sub now! Full steam ahead!

Also, I am going to try and get the content I removed here on to Internet Archive until our January return when they should be restored here.
