Lost television broadcast

"Lost episode" redirects here. For other uses, see Lost episode (disambiguation).

Lost television broadcasts are television programs that were not preserved after their original airing, rendering them permanently lost. This particularly affects television programs that aired before the widespread use of home video recording and digital archiving. A significant portion of early television programming was never recorded, largely because recording equipment was unavailable or the content was considered to have little monetary or historical value.
