We are making some production shifts to welcome better returns on our investments.

BeatTheChip is scaling back the amount of hours to produce content online. This move supports the fiscal interests of those who work to bring you the news.

Starting today, March 3rd, 2013 we will be producing the following limited schedule which includes Twitter social media shifts on Pacific Standard Time.

 Tues - 7:00 - 10:30 PM
 Thurs - 7:00 - 10:30 PM
 One weekend day every other weekend. 

We will continue to bring you news, it just won’t be as frequent. If anyone has any further questions, please contact us.

Sincerely,

Sheila Dean for BeatTheChip.org
