The capture record
When the desk was listening · as of 2026-10-20 08:59 UTC · no session open at build time (at build)
Every count the desk publishes from the airwaves is a count of captured tape, not
of a network’s full air. This page is the attendance record behind that caveat: for each
channel, which UTC hours actually have evidence on file — transcribed spoken lines or ingested
chyrons. An hour counts as covered only if the record exists; that the recorder was merely
running is annotation, not coverage. Per-second capture instrumentation began 2026-07-15;
nothing before that date is claimed. Capture interruptions are labeled by kind only — the raw
capture log stays internal.
Ledger incomplete: 13,624 transcribed lines sit outside every logged session — early capture ran before per-session bookkeeping was airtight. Those hours still render as covered (the evidence exists); the session ledger under-reports them.

[OUTPUT] Capture record: 9 channels with evidence on file,
hour-gridded in UTC — covered means transcribed lines or chyrons exist for the hour, nothing
more. Session and gap rows annotate; they never count. The ledger is machine-readable at
/coverage.json. A record of attendance, not a claim of completeness. probability mass ≠ 1.0.
