Page "Wiping" Paragraph 4

Many episodes of popular Australian commercial TV series are also lost.

In the 1970s, Network Ten had an official policy to reuse tapes ; hence, many tapes of Young Talent Time and Number 96 were wiped.

To this day, Network Ten still only keeps some of its programming.

Other notable casualties from the Ten archive include hundreds of episodes of the Melbourne-based pop music shows commissioned and broadcast by ATV-0 Melbourne in the 1960s and early 1970s – The Go !!

Show ( 1964 – 1967 ), Kommotion ( 1964 – 1967 ), Uptight ( 1968 – 70 ), and the Happening 70s series ( 1970 – 1972 ).
