This is amazing. Streaming t.v. Well done! Even works on my very old mac mini.

I love it! But- There’s too much “Around Our Area” pieces in my opinion! I would love to see more local news coverage!! Or more non around our area segments! Other then that I love it! and I’m glad I can watch it online!!!

Thomas,

I’m not seeing any freezes… it could be a glitch on your end, but I’ll definitely keep an eye on it.

Thanks for the feedback!

Was looking forward to watching your new morning news cast but you are offline
Eric Wotila December 20, 2011 at 9:50 am

Trav,

Sorry about the glitch, looks like our streaming server went down overnight. It’s been fixed, and you should be able to watch online now.

Pity, same thing happened this morning when i went to watch the show too.
Eric Wotila December 21, 2011 at 9:50 am

It’s back up. We ran a software update that should fix the issues; the server should remain online for tomorrow’s morning news. Again, our apologizes for the technical difficulties.

Right now, I’m visiting Mexico. It’s great to see the local news and weather live.

Hmmm all i’m getting is audio, no video…

Josh,

We’re currently experiencing problems with our streaming server, but we expect that the problem will be fixed later this evening.

Sorry for any inconvenience!

I love how I can sit and watch this online Since this is 24-hour news, I assume that you play news packages more than once. Does that mean mine will be played more than once?

Thanks!

Video is out of sync with audio-FYI
Eric Wotila February 2, 2012 at 2:08 pm

Margo,

This is a glitch with the web stream that we’re aware of and working to fix. Thanks for the heads-up though!

And Markie — nearly all news pieces we air air more than once, so yes, anything you end it will be repeated multiple times.

very interesting channel!

keep building and succeeding
JC WHITELAW July 19, 2012 at 12:46 pm

You should start a MI26 youtube channel.Place all your archived video up there. Great place to go when your server isn’t sending.
Barb Wotila November 6, 2012 at 9:15 pm

WOW. Very cool. Streaming in Carlevoix. Nice work.

are you going to set up to watch live for 26-2 shows???
Eric Wotila April 14, 2013 at 5:56 pm

Gary,

We are indeed working to add a “watch live” function for 26-2 in the near future.

The live video freezes too
Eric Wotila April 22, 2013 at 3:10 pm

Matthew,

We’ve been having some problems with our streaming server this week. We’re waiting for a new piece of hardware and as soon as that’s in, many of the past issues with the live stream (including lip sync issues) should be permanently fixed.
