+# ECP-0118: Broadcast Console Web Presentation
+
+Status: Draft
+
+## Problem / context
+
+The hosted web page presented the live player as a technical protocol console: relay URL, broadcast
+name, WebTransport badge, and diagnostic wording were all first-screen material. That is useful for
+operators, but it makes the public experience feel like infrastructure instead of television.
+
+## Decision
+
+Use a generated 1980s broadcast master-control image as the page backdrop and redesign the first
+screen around a tuned television surface plus a compact station console. Keep the live player and
+public stream list visible, but move relay URL, channel key, DVR mode, and share URL into a
+collapsed "Signal source" drawer.
+
+## Consequences
+
+- The first impression is a premium broadcast console instead of a protocol dashboard.
+- Station discovery remains one click from the first screen.
+- Operator controls are still present for debugging and direct links, but no longer dominate the
+  public page.
+- The generated image is unbranded and contains no readable labels, so it evokes the Sony-era
+  hardware direction without making a visible trademark claim.
+
+## Rollout / teardown
+
+Deploy the web asset bundle and validate the hosted page visually in the browser plus the existing
+watch E2E. Teardown is removing the generated asset, restoring the prior panel layout, and promoting
+the signal fields back to the first-screen controls.
