It’s fairly well known that YouTube is a great website to visit if you are looking for information, in video format, on any given topic. Want to watch an episode of 1950s television? Need a video to properly demonstrate how to assemble an item you bought that came with directions written by a martian? Or maybe you’d just like to sit back and watch those cute animal/human interactions. YouTube provides hundreds, if not thousands of opportunities to watch videos on almost any topic imaginable.
Yes, there are many genealogy-themed lessons, too. A lot of the videos are one-offs or a short series by a single person, who then stops creating new episodes.
However, did you know that there are actually genealogy channels that regularly post new content?
Here are several that I enjoy and all are free to watch. They present a variety of topics, conversations, news, tips, how-tos and resources helpful to genealogists.

The episodes are much less formal than webinars, but will still enhance your genealogy knowledge. The nice thing is that they are all pre-recorded so you can view at your leisure.
