SUMMER 2011 UPDATE: ALL NEW USER REGISTRATIONS DISABLED UNTIL FURTHUR NOTICE
TUESDAY JUNE 14, 2011

Hello Everyone! Once again its been another good 8 months since I've been here!

. Anyway I have a small announcement to make, for those who even still come here, haha. I will be redesigning this website for the upcoming Season III of SBN 2. Yes I am still in the works of making this broadcast. Times are still pretty tough and busy for me as I try to get my life together, but I will try my best to release a new broadcast or something soon, i'm hoping to get a news brief out and then start working on a few other things too, for the most part the graphics are about 75% complete and hopefully I can start working on some new scripts for upcoming broadcasts.

As the headline suggests, I have DISABLED all new registrations until I can figure out what is going on with the site. There have been so many registrations going on at once that I believe that bots are attacking this site and bypassing captcha security. So until then I will have to disable registration. At this point, if you are still interested in viewing older videos or downloading higher quality videos, you can e-mail me directly at my personal e-mail address: Vlad788@yahoo.com. And I will link you to the old broadcasts.

If you are a "legit" user, and you are awaiting activation, you can also e-mail me as well. I will probably delete all of the accounts "pending approval" and probably create a username and password that everyone could use to access the movies. I'll do that if the demand is high though and I get enough e-mails. Thanks for your continuing support! Take Care!

FALL 2010 UPDATE, STILL BUSY....
SBN 2 STILL ON HOLD,
ADVERTISING COMING SOON TO SBN 2
SATURDAY OCTOBER 9, 2010

Hello everyone, once again its been such a long time that I've last updated everyone, its been nearly 8 months! Anyway once again I'm well aware that SBN 2 is here. I haven't abandoned the newscast, I think about SBN 2 everyday actually and I do plan on doing a major relaunch. Unfortunately I just can't give a definitive date because of how busy I've been with school. Unfortunately if I'm not working, I'm at school and vice versa, I don't have the freetime that I used to have anymore that I would devote to work on these broadcasts, the Haiti Broadcast that I have announced was put to rest though I do have a script for it.

I have scripts for many unreleased broadcasts, the problem is putting the time and effort into creating them getting the voices, filming, editing these are all extremely time consuming and time intensive. And I'd rather not make a product that is rushed and bad in quality. I'd rather wait till I have the time to properly bring back SBN 2 and make it a quality broadcast that it has always been. So time is the the big issue and that is what I no longer have anymore. I'm also a senior in college, so you all know how that works with time, lol.

So the goal is to bring something here in the future, but I just don't know what and how I'm gonna do it. I will be making a few changes to the site in a few days, particularly advertising. I will have to unfortunately bring some advertising to the site, nothing major but something to bring some cashflow back in effort to survive, because times are tough now. I will make sure that the ads do not ruin the experience for everyone here.

Once again I would like to thank everyone for their support and continuing interest in this broadcast although it has been nearly a year since something was released, rest assured I will be back and SBN 2 will be better than ever I promise you all that. We have reached nearly 650 members, so thats a good start, of course the majority of them are inactive, but they will be active again when SBN 2 makes a big return once again.

EYEWITNESS NEWS - SPECIAL REPORT
NOW AVAILABLE
SATURDAY OCTOBER 17, 2009

Well after nearly 6 months of work the collaborative videos are finally available! SBN 2 HD and Jpro07 Studios collaborated to produce Turbulence 2 a rather interesting story about several passengers who fly on an ill-fated passenger flight from fictional Forix City to New Port. SBN 2 has produced a fictional Special Report story for the movie. The Special Report has been uploaded to my YouTube Channel, along with links to John Rojas' Turbulence 2 the sequel to the first film released last year. I also uploaded a High Quality HD version of the same Special Report to this website, the links to download the broadcast are posted here:

This is officially the first broadcast of Season III of Eyewitness News. The full debut broadcast is still a work in progress there is still no definitive date on when the 6:00PM broadcast will premiere, only time will tell, in the meantime enjoy this latest broadcast!

A new revamped broadcast center is also in the works as well for the Third Season in the meantime I will keep these links up for you to download the broadcasts.

EYEWITNESS NEWS - SPECIAL REPORT ANNOUNCED
MONDAY AUGUST 17, 2009

Its been 2 months since I last updated everyone on the latest that is occurring here. Rest assured, I'm hard at work on bringing this new broadcast to you all. The first broadcast an (EYEWITNESS NEWS SPECIAL REPORT), of the season is actually part of a feature machinima known as "Turbulence" Directed by John Rojas (jpro07) and Written by (Blessed3126). He and I have been hard at work over the past few weeks putting together this news report and machinima movie.

The movie is actually a two part film (the first part already available) and it is about 6 people who are facing a major life changing decision and board a large commercial airliner known as Metro Air Flight 559 on Friday April 11, 2008. Their lives are explored as the fateful flight commences from Forix City, USA to its destination, in New Port, USA. I can't disclose too much information because the movie and the broadcast still haven't been released and are still in production.

Anyway the broadcast should be available by the end of the month or perhaps in September. The broadcast will be done before the movie, but I will not release the broadcast to the public until the movie is released, again this is to avoid spoilers and etc. So there is no definitive date on when the first broadcast of the season will be released but I am speculating that it should be done by the end of the month or perhaps the first week of September. I'm also working on releasing the first full 6:00PM news broadcast of the season too, which has been delayed countless and numerous times. Once I finish work on the Turbulence, I will begin work on the upcoming 6:00PM broadcast which I hope to finally release by the end of September.

WEBSITE UPDATE
TUESDAY MAY 19, 2009

The website's theme has been modified, slightly to correlate with the new on-air look of SBN 2. The splash page has also been updated. Stay tuned for more information on the progress and the debut of the third season of SBN 2!

A QUICK CHECK IN
SUNDAY APRIL 12, 2009

Like I said on the previous update which was about 4 months ago, SBN 2 has been put on hold due to so many things that have been going on in life, lol. I know its been so long and the broadcast is been delayed several times. Its not canceled, it will air, just not anytime soon, perhaps this summer? I really hope to get it done by then and perhaps release a few more broadcasts before calling a quits and ending the series by the end of the year or perhaps mid next year. I'm still planning to revive the series again by the summer, there is a lot of work that still needs to be done, including some more graphical work and alot more time consuming things, commercials, promos and getting some voices. So it will be a while before the first broadcast of the new season will be out. The newscast's airdate will probably change, and air in the summer, so it will essentially take place a year later. I'm also working with John Rojas, creator of the very successful outstanding two part movie, titled Turbulence, the finale to that movie is set to be released by the summer as well and I'd like to tie the SBN 2 storyline to the events that take place in Turbulence. But for now SBN 2 is on hiatus, but not forgotten, things will eventually progress.
