Behind the Silence: OnWatch TV’s Strategic Pause and What’s Coming Next

If you’ve noticed a quieter-than-usual presence from OnWatch TV over the past few weeks—don’t worry. It wasn’t a break... it was a build.

From mid June into early July, OnWatch TV entered a brief but intentional strategic content slowdown. This period allowed our team to step back from weekly content drops and livestreams in order to focus on something equally important: organization, planning, and preparation.

Organizing Our Digital House

With hundreds of hours of video content, interviews, community events, performances, and student productions under our belt, our first goal was to organize and archive our vast media library.

This process included:

Reviewing and archiving previously aired content

  • Tagging and categorizing video assets for easier discovery
  • Cleaning up metadata for searchability across platforms
  • Backing up critical footage for long-term preservation
  • Updating OnWatchTV.net and Streaming Playlists

While the content was being archived, our team also took time to refresh and reorganize OnWatchTV.net and our streaming playlists across Roku, Amazon Fire TV, and VIDAA TV.

Users will soon notice:

New category layouts and featured sections

  • Updated content rotation schedules
  • Streamlined user experiences for web and app visitors
  • Improved accessibility to community spotlights and event recaps
  • This update ensures our most impactful and requested content remains front and center for new viewers—and provides our loyal supporters with fresh content queues throughout the summer.

A Powerful Project in the Works: Dr. Tayari Kuanda Documentary

Perhaps the most exciting development during this quiet period is what’s been brewing in pre-production: the upcoming autobiographical documentary on Dr. Tayari Kuanda, the visionary founder of OnWatch TV and President of SCORE.

This new film will explore Dr. Kuanda’s personal and professional journey—from overcoming homelessness as a youth, to becoming a college professor, educational leader, and media entrepreneur committed to equity and storytelling.

During a recent trip to Detroit, the production team began capturing live interviews and cinematic B-roll footage, laying the groundwork for what promises to be a powerful and inspiring piece.

With themes of resilience, transformation, and community leadership, this documentary will give audiences a deeper look into the passion and purpose that drives OnWatch TV today.

What to Expect This Summer

With our systems refreshed and our team recharged, OnWatch TV is gearing up for a strong July–August content cycle, including:

Exclusive community event coverage

  • Youth-led content from SCORE interns
  • Live music performances and short films
  • Behind-the-scenes looks at upcoming productions
  • Trailers and sneak peeks of the Tayari Kuanda Documentary

Thank you for rocking with us through the quiet. We’ve been working, planning, building—and the next chapter is going to be our most powerful yet.

Stay tuned.
