Summary
WVBI announced a new website on January 11, 2016, with online listening, station program information, news, and a community calendar intended to include local events and public meetings. A February follow-up explained its relationship to the Chamber calendar and invited organizations to submit events.
Evidence limits
The station announcement documents the launch and intended features, but not long-term availability or calendar completeness.

- WVBI described a built-in online player, music metadata, a community calendar intended to include local organizations and public meetings, news posts, program schedules, and a contact form.

- WVBI described the community calendar as a resource for island events, meetings, school, church, Wildlife Club, and community-center activities, and explained that it complemented rather than replaced the Chamber calendar. The station invited organizations to submit events; the post establishes intended scope, not complete coverage or long-term operation.forum · www.beaverislandforum.com · 09 · t009884
- When a participant asked why the forum calendar was empty, Angel Welke directed readers to the Community Center event calendar and Jacquel also recommended WVBI.net. This reinforces that island event information was distributed across multiple calendars; it does not establish that any calendar was complete.forum · www.beaverislandforum.com · 10 · t010361
- WVBI reported that a hosting-provider server migration disrupted its website and community calendar, while the station stream remained available through a resurrected original site. A follow-up said the issue was a technical equipment change rather than a hack. This is a first-party outage report, not an independent infrastructure audit.forum · www.beaverislandforum.com · 11 · t011190
