#12MTV news then this?? Did some older and borderline archaic provider skyrocket their prices?
I'm guessing it's some sort of financial wizardry whereby the net present value of the archive is increased (on paper) by putting it behind a $50/clip paywall advertised only in trade journals.

Funnily enough I remember reading somewhere that this was some of The Daily Show’s secret sauce in where they would DVR/record all the other news programs.
They use "TV Eyes" a service that records all cable channels constantly and allows you to search through them and download clips of that segment.
How have they not been sued into oblivion?

#17How much could it possibly have been costing them to leave old clips up? I suspect the really old stuff was pretty low traffic, file storage is ridiculously cheap, how much money could this realistically save them?
I'm sure it's not "zero" but I think I'm missing something...is it copyright savings or something?

You don't have something anymore if a thief gets it. Nothing gets lost here. There is even more of it afterward. So please...spare us that sad tactic.
Spare you the sad tactic of disagreeing with you instead of just assuming your conclusion?
