For thirty years, EarthStation1.com has existed for one purpose: to preserve, curate, and share the history of our world through television, radio, film, and documentary media. During that time, the world has changed dramatically. The cost of nearly everything has risen, and for many people, simply making ends meet has become more difficult than ever. We believe that learning, discovery, and the enjoyment of history should never become luxuries reserved only for those who can afford them.
Beginning today, EarthStation1.com is introducing a new long-term pricing philosophy. Rather than asking, "What is the highest price people will pay?" we are asking a different question: "What is the fairest price that allows the greatest number of people to own, enjoy, and preserve these remarkable programs?" We want students, teachers, veterans, researchers, families, collectors, and lifelong learners everywhere to have access to the extraordinary stories that have shaped our world—without price becoming an unnecessary barrier.
This is more than a sale. It is a commitment to the future of EarthStation1.com and to the people we have proudly served since 1996. Our hope is simple: that by making our catalog more affordable than ever before, we can place more history into more homes, encourage greater understanding of our shared past, and ensure that these important films, broadcasts, and recordings continue to educate and inspire for generations to come. We invite you to explore our collection, rediscover old favorites, uncover new treasures, and join us as we begin this exciting new chapter together.

HERALD: Hear ye! Hear ye! Let it be proclaimed throughout the Known and Unknown Universe!
By decree of the Curator of EarthStation1.com™, and with the enthusiastic concurrence of the Executive Director of Customer Experience...
Henceforth shall the proclamation read:
...and there was much rejoicing among historians, documentary enthusiasts, collectors, lovers of old television and radio, seekers of the obscure, and all who delight in discovering the treasures of the past without having to mortgage the present.
The fanfare crescendos... banners unfurl... somewhere, Yul Brynner nods approvingly... and Cecil B. DeMille quietly murmurs, "Print it."
