As the summer season approaches, we want to offer one final reminder about how to watch Chautauqua’s programs on our YouTube channel during the season — particularly for those who rely on watching programs after they air live. 

During the season, the only way to watch programs on demand after a livestream is over will be through the Explore More & Sustain membership ($19.99/month). This tier includes both livestream access and in-season on-demand viewing, allowing you to watch programs later if your schedule doesn’t allow you to join us live. 

Our other membership levels are designed for more limited viewing habits. Explore More provides access to livestreams only, without the ability to re-watch programs until they are made available to this tier in September. Explore offers access to our growing archive from past years, with programs from the current season being released gradually beginning in the fall. If you anticipate missing live broadcasts and want the flexibility to watch programs later, Explore More & Sustain is the level that ensures you won’t miss out.  

We also want to share a reminder that effective June 1, The Archive Collection which was previously known as CHQ Assembly at $2.99/month, will no longer be available. Current members in this tier are encouraged to explore our other levels to ensure uninterrupted access to Chautauqua’s digital programming. You can change your membership level by visiting your YouTube account at www.youtube.com/paid_memberships. Please be sure that you are using the account where you originally purchased your membership. If you are not a member, you can join our channel at www.youtube.com/chautauquainstitution/join.  

Choosing the sustaining membership level ensures we can continue to provide the highest quality production value and gives you unrestricted access to all the programs we produce. The flexibility of our membership tiers allows you to adjust your level as your viewing needs change throughout the year. If watching programs on your own schedule matters to you, Explore More & Sustain provides the most complete access and helps ensure these programs can continue to be shared widely. 

Thank you for being part of this community and for valuing what Chautauqua Institution brings to the world.
