Our master materials include over 12,000 television audio aircheck soundtracks from 1946-1979, recorded directly from a television speaker output at the time of original broadcast.
     95% of these recordings were direct line recorded, the remaining 5% were open microphone recorded. 95% exist as 1/4" reel to reel tapes and 5% as audio cassettes.
     Our television sound recordings include complete broadcasts, excerpts only, and thousands of complete broadcasts with original openings, tags, closings and original commercials.
     Less than 1/2% of our master tapes cannot be played back because of age, damage and deterioration (Sticky Shed Syndrome, Vinegar Syndrome, mold). However, requests for specific tapes having never been dubbed must be located and confirmed as to playback condition for dubbing by Archival Television Audio staff.
