BBC Has Lost Tapes Of 21st Century's Defining Moment
The following components to be retained:-
· Two broadcast standard copies of all transmitted/published TV, Radio and BBCi output – one to be stored on a separate site as a master
· One browse-quality version for research purposes, to protect the broadcast material
· All supporting metadata to enable research and re-use
· A selection of original (i.e. unedited) material for re-use/re-versioning purposes
· Hardware/software/equipment to enable replay/transfer of the media
Furthermore:
"A retention schedule for each set of records kept /archived must be created as defined in the Core Records Policy. Retention periods are set according to the status and value of the record."
This means that the safe retention of archived recordings is checked at regular intervals, and the more valuable they are deemed to be, the more frequently they are checked.
And yet more:
"All transmitted/published media content will be kept for at least five years to fulfil legal requirements and to enable re-versioning and re-use."
This means that if the footage was "lost" prior to September 11th 2006 then the BBC has broken British broadcasting law.
