Vimeo hasn't responded to my request - granted it was using the "Help" form on their page. Their page says "Email Us", yet they don't provide an email address. Most of their contact is accessible when logged in - and I can't log in... I'm pissed - 4 years worth of work spent uploading stuff is all gone... I'm just going to focus on the internet archive - and only stuff over 10 years old (I'll keep collecting current stuff, as that 10 year window keeps moving forward... At this point, if folks download content, so be it. I just want to share all that I have captured and collected over the years. I guarantee, like you said @VHSgoodiesWA, I doubt the local stations have any of this content in their archives - it takes a lot of space and time to manage, and with cost cutting measures everyone seems to be putting in place, a lot of the history is moot to them... Well you also take donations at the moment, I know a station that had kept their news archives (KSBW Action News 8). But unfortunately they're unable to grant me access. We all know you're on Internet Archive now and you're starting over.

compubit 673 Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 I’m uploading as much as I can in my spare time. So far I have 90 newscasts uploaded, mostly 88-92 timeframe and am now working on the 93-95 window. My goal is to have 200 uploaded by Labor Day. I just missed posting a couple of “30 Years Ago Today” newscasts on the actual day (Doh!). After about 95, I’ll have to start digitizing from tape until about 1999, where I have quite a few digitized already… 2 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/18218-youtube-discussion/page/6/#findComment-262484 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope you have better luck there, and I wish you all the best with getting the rest of your content uploaded there. Thanks for posting everything.

VHSgoodiesWA 305 Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 Thank you Jim for posting away to the Archive. As of today I have re-uploaded 2,618 videos from YouTube with probably 3K more to go. About 4 months after my channels were terminated, so averaging about 21 videos a day and 654 videos a month.

ChocoMingo 44 Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 (edited) Welp, today is the final day before YouTube privatizes all unlisted videos from before 2017 for "security reasons" or something like that. https://blog.youtube/news-and-events/update-youtube-unlisted-links/ Ugh...I really wish this didn't happen, but I mean, this is YouTube we're talking about, and as we all know, they're not the best at archiving stuff in recent years. None of us know which channels opted out of this update that will impact who sees these videos, but whatever videos you find are unlisted and from before 2017, I recommend you save them and put the original uploader's name somewhere in the file name so if you reupload them, you can credit them for originally posting the video that will become private by YouTube shenanigans Edited July 22, 2021 by ChocoMingo Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/18218-youtube-discussion/page/6/#findComment-262587 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was working on 2000-2003 newscasts - and was finishing up posting the late 90s I had already converted and uploaded. the good news is that I don’t have to convert the files - the archive will ingest native MPEG-2 files, so I’m just uploading directly. But I’m also consolidating things onto a new storage device on my network (and renaming them, so there’s consistency and easier searchability on my part…). Stuff is spread across multiple hard drives as it is right now… i hope to post more this weekend, after my work project settles down… My focus in uploading is working forward from oldest to newest, but keeping everything older than 10 years old… Jim Edited July 29, 2021 by compubit Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/18218-youtube-discussion/page/6/#findComment-262844 Share on other sites More sharing options...

jerseyfla 207 Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 (edited) Roma Torre former News 12 Long Island and NY1 anchor and daughter of legendary KDKA anchor/reporter Marie Torre took down her YouTube channel. No reason known (Altice copyright striking?) but her channel had tons of airchecks from News 12 Long Island from the late 80s and early 90s! Clips never seen again until her channel. Definitely childhood nostalgia for me as my mom and dad were obsessed with News 12 when I was growing up before we moved to Florida when I was 9.

I wonder if that was the channel that also had the stuff from WQEX-TV in Pittsburgh, PA on it, including a recording from their Black & White days, as well as all 3 of the humorous signoffs that they had. Do you remember what the name of the channel was?

Everything from the earliest seasons of Trebek's Jeopardy to Chuck Woolery's slightly forgotten Wheel of Fortune to even the polarizing Patrick Wayne Tic Tac Dough version. It seems like most people go to either Dailymotion or the Internet Archive to put Sony content. So basically, no matter how old or new it is, if it's Sony-owned, it's blocked on YouTube? 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/18218-youtube-discussion/page/6/#findComment-267933 Share on other sites More sharing options...

With streaming in full swing, I wonder if they'll ever release those seasons, even if it's a lot of episodes. If it's a newscast that aired that once that was the result of the account being banned, that's petty on their part. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/18218-youtube-discussion/page/6/#findComment-268979 Share on other sites More sharing options...
