Stay tuned or Welcome back
Depends. "Stay tuned," when a show is about to take a commercial break and the anckorperson pleads with the viewers to "stay;" otherwise "welcome back", when commercials are over and the show resumes.

No! use "stay tuned" instead
It really depends on what that "继续" really means.
If it means - you have changed to another station and returned, and somehow that TV station has a way to detect you have gone away and returned, YES! you can say "welcome back"; but Idon't see how that TV station can detect your movement!
If that "继续" means that they (TV) have gone away for a commercial break, and (they) returned; in the meantimes, you have patiently waited and continue to enjoy the show, then
you should say "stay tuned"
