We still output everything to tape for delivery to the networks.. usually HDcamSR.
But on a consumer level note, I went to Costco this morning to pick up some mini-DV tapes, and they told me they no longer carried them. Lots of SD memory cards on the shelf I used to get tapes from. I had to go to Target, where I found them gathering dust at the bottom of a display rack.

All we do comes in on hard disks and flash cards, and goes out on disk or via ftp on our 100mbit line. An estimated guess (I haven't been counting) would be around 250 commercials and various other productions, all delivered file based.
