Channel 9 (2004–2021) was a Microsoft Developer Network-affiliated website for podcasts (incl. video podcasts), interviews, conference talks, etc. relating to software development in the Microsoft ecosystem and unrelated technical material developed for publication by Microsoft developers. In the context of the MSDN shutdown, Microsoft announced on 2021-11-05 that 'most' content uploaded after November 2017 would be migrated to Microsoft Learn.[1][2] The site shut down later that month between 2021-11-18 21:30 and 2021-11-19 02:50 UTC, though the video files (mostly hosted on sec.ch9.ms) remained accessible at least into January 2022.

Many incoming links were broken with the closure/migration. It's not clear to what extent old content and non-video content will be preserved. Based on the announcement, among older videos, the focus will be on those that are "notable".
