CHECKING FILESLAKESHORE TV GUIDE
Live program information is loading.
Channel listings are station configuration. Only the currently playing program is live-confirmed.
NEW TO LAKESHORE?
Use the TV Guide to see the live channel and browse the station’s networks. Exploring the guide is safe and changes nothing.
Work moves through distinct steps: assigned → submitted → human decision → station placement. A Shift File is what you turn in. Approval or placement does not by itself claim that something aired.
Accepted work can earn XP and Nielsen Credits. A station effect is shown only when its own placement, restoration, or broadcast record exists.
Ask your department head in Discord, or ask Master Control. A question is only a question—it never creates work by itself.

Post the finished work in Discord first. This terminal files the message link and routes the paperwork; it does not upload or store the media.
No media leaves Discord. Switchboard receives the filing record only.

PERSONNEL ROUTING COMPLETE
FIRST SHIFT CLEARED
Your first-shift requirement has been satisfied. Personnel Services has released your file to ordinary station work.
PERSONNEL WALLET VERIFICATION
Personnel will open a secure Phantom badge-check outside Discord. You will sign one station-ID message—never a transaction. No token, approval, burn, or reward permission is requested.
No funds will move. Return here after Phantom confirms your station badge.
PERSONNEL COMMUNICATIONS // TWITCH
Discord has blocked automatic clipboard access. Select this one-time link, copy it with your keyboard, and paste it into your normal browser.
This expires in ten minutes. It links only your Twitch identity; no reward permissions are requested.
