The Ledger, Lakeland's local newspaper, featured StreamerHouse in their coverage of the emerging phenomenon of professional video game streaming.

The article highlighted how three local residents - Robert Schill, Adam Young, and Brett Borden - had transformed a 1920s Mediterranean-style house in Lakeland, Florida into a 24/7 streaming operation.

As The Ledger's hometown newspaper, this coverage provided local context for the national story that would later be picked up by outlets like CBC News, Polygon, and Tech Times.

The StreamerHouse operation represented a new kind of entrepreneurship emerging in Central Florida, where traditional employment was being replaced by digital content creation and online community building.

At the time of this article, StreamerHouse had already established itself as one of the most unique channels on Twitch.tv, broadcasting continuously while most other streamers only went live for a few hours at a time.
