The WolvHaven Broadcasting Corporation (WBC) was a public service broadcaster of the city-state of WolvHaven, headquartered at the La Resistance Broadcast Centre. WBC was responsible for several of the videos that appear on WolvHaven's YouTube channel. It is also responsible for many of the WolvHaven livestreams.
History
WolvHaven Broadcasting Service
The WolvHaven Broadcasting Corporation's history dates back to when WolvHaven was first established in 2011. Its sole purpose was to create and share videos to the wider Minecraft community that strive to educate and entertain others. The original WolvHaven Broadcasting Service made videos that were more related to Minecraft in general back in 2011 till 2012. These videos include quick snippets and information about things such as Minecraft updates or sharing with others how they can build better quality builds, for example.
The WolvHaven Broadcasting Service made its initial debut on Facebook which showed a video of New Centrif (1st Haven) in the beginning back in 2011. The short video was a speechless tour around the city and can now be seen on the WolvHaven YouTube channel as part of the throwback thursdays series.
As WolvHaven gained traction and popularity in 2013, the WolvHaven Broadcasting Service started to shift its focus to WolvHaven centric content, producing videos such as metro montages, speedbuilds, timelapses and cinematics within the WolvHaven region.
WolvHaven Broadcasting Corporation (WBC)
All videos were uploaded to SilverWolv's personal YouTube channel till 2013. In 2014, the WolvHaven Broadcasting Service finally got its own YouTube channel in the form of the official WolvHaven channel and rebranded to the WolvHaven Broadcasting Corporation.
The WBC produced general videos for the official WolvHaven channel, such as Metro timelapses, montages, and build timelapses, but under the official WolvHaven server branding. This changed on 2 April 2017, with the broadcast of the April 2017 General Election debate where the WBC logo was unveiled as an intro title sequence.
Preparing to go indepdendent
In a bid or attempt to start up a media industry in WolvHaven, SilverWolv decided that the WBC should become an independent media organisation. This started out with the WBC deviating from its original branding and purpose to produce official content for the WolvHaven youtube channel. This was evident in the broadcast of the April 2018 General Election debate which saw for the first time, a livestream featuring the WBC logo instead of the official server logo, along with a dark shade of blue instead of the server's regular maroon red branding for the video's lower-third.
To facilitate this, the WBC website was setup in 2018, along with a recruitment drive which gave newly employed employees the ability to write and publish news articles on the website. An attempt to produce a monthly news broadcast titled "WBC News" which was initally set to release in January 2018 which did not materialize. The focus was shifted towards producing a documentary series about the city as the server prepared to move towards the construction of New Wolfminster (5th Haven).
YJJcoolcool appointed as CEO
In August 2019, YJJcoolcool was appointed the new CEO of the WBC. This was done by SilverWolv as a bid to delegate the decision making authoirty and leadership. A #news channel was also set up in the WolvHaven Discord, allowing easier access to news articles. All official videos by the server would instead be produced under the Ministry for Culture and Foreign Affairs.
Under YJJcoolcool's leadership the an independent youtube channel for the WBC was setup, during which livestreams for the January 2020 General Election results were done. Other independent projects such as a newsmagazine titled "The WolvHaven News" was performed under his leadership.
Lykanatthemochi appointed as new CEO
In May 2020, YJJcoolcool resigned from his role, and lykanatthemochi was appointed to become the CEO.
On the 2nd of February 2021, SilverWolv announced that the WBC website will be decommissioned.
Return to Staff ownership as the Communications & Information Department
On 6 May 2023, in an internal notice sent to the WBC, SilverWolv announced the closure of WBC, citing the organisation's numerous attempts and ultimate inability to produce any finished projects. The WBC would cease operations and be absorbed as a secondary agency under the Staff team, and would be rebranded into the Communications & Information Department (CID) under the Ministry for Culture and Foreign Affairs.
The focus would shift towards assisting in the production of short videos for the official WolvHaven YouTube channel instead of large scale projects that were deemed too complex for completion with the organisation's limited manpower. All existing projects undertaken by the WBC would be put on hold, and not all employees of WBC would become part of the newly formed CID.
