Not really lost episodes but I was wondering in which formats modern programmes are stored. Audio - CD, on hard drive or something else? What quality? TV - tape, DVD, hard drive or something else? Where are they kept, generally speaking, and are there backups elsewhere?
I'm just curious.

For TV, as far as I'm aware, there would be a tape master (Digi-beta copy), plus maybe a back-up, but for TX this would be ingested onto a server & played out from that. This would vary from channel to channel, depending on what gear they are using, some are still tx'd off tape.

It's not always digibeta. There's numerous other formats floating around as well, mainly Beta variants (SP, SX, HDCAM etc....).

I understand that all radio shows on BBC7 are transferred to CD for broadcast. A very handy archival safety net.

Well, lets hope they dont start getting cyclic redundancy checks all over the place or we could lose a few years worth of radio and theres bound to be a few things there that future generations will want.
