panewswatcher69 28 Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 On TV news stations YouTube pages, what's the purpose in keeping daily top news headlines segments, daily/weekly sports talk shows, and daily broadcast day weather segments beyond the present week? How many stations across the country do this? It's revelant for the present but not long-term.

Weeters 1915 Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 On TV news stations YouTube pages, what's the purpose in keeping daily top news headlines segments, daily/weekly sports talk shows, and daily broadcast day weather segments beyond the present week? How many stations across the country do this? It's revelant for the present but not long-term. Why do libraries keep archives of magazines and newspapers? Same deal. Just because it's not happening right now doesn't mean someone isn't going to be interested in what happened before. It also means more places ads will show up.

rkolsen 1684 Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 It comes down to money. If the stations can make a few pennies off old clips that may never see the light of day why not? I believe Hearst was one of the first station groups to post clips onto YouTube over 10 years ago. There was some sort of ad sharing revenue agreement. Also it's a great way to have your important content "archived".

Also it's a great way to have your important content "archived". That's my wet dream... All those archives in one place. And yes...I would be happy to pay to have access to it. The average legacy big 4 station has archives on so many format is a big task just to keep operating machines. The formats include 16mm film 2in Quad 3/4in Umatic cassettes 1in R2R D-1 Betacam/SP/SX M2 (yes KUSI and a few others) Plus consumer formats for smaller stations... Often this stuff just goes into the trash. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/15900-tv-news-youtube-pages-questions/#findComment-182809 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ntropolis 596 Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 Sorry to bump this thread, but I thought I'd share... WAVY has an extensive Youtube channel. They've uploaded pretty much all of their stories from the past several years on there. Over the past year or so, they've been uploading from their extensive story archive which dates back to 1978. Mostly stories, but there are several full newscasts and specials in there: Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/15900-tv-news-youtube-pages-questions/#findComment-183896 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mostly the "save files"...type stuff like you find on the edit bay shelves of most TV news operations... Don't miss the Electric Chair series...where they just "cook you to death"..but try to make it "pleasant". Its a fun browse...thanks for the post.
