Killing archives is a decision that would probably been made regardless of getting rid of Justin.tv altogether. I could see getting rid of their premium service as more telling of the future.
I currently use Justin.tv for broadcast. If that goes away, what is a good one to use? I was gearing towards Ustream.

If you're looking for free there's a dwindling number of options it seems.
Basically, from what I understand, free with advertising really hasn't become a viable business model for the CDNs.
Bambuser free doesn't allow you to use an encoder.
Make.TV free limits you to 100 viewer hours a month.
New Livestream free requires viewers to sign in so they can gather the email addresses.
Ustream is obviously still what it is.
There's YouTube and they're evolving with some great features and some serious limitation IMHO.
That Justin.TV dumped archiving is bailing water to stay alive. Some service would offer 30 day archive or a limited amount of storage. Dumping it entirely is a sign they're taking drastic steps.
the end seems to be near sadly. I have heard that many former content partners are complaning that many of their contacts from the company have left over the past month
