Who want's to buy Sony SR 5500's at almost $100K a pop? Not me!
We're already delivering digitally to two of the networks we work with. These are 75gig files of masters. But... here's the rub: They STILL want a tape back up!!!! So, until everyone totally goes tapeless, we're stuck making dubs.
Until someone cracks the "archive media" issues (Faster/better/cheaper AND more durable than Videotape), we'll be stuck with tape for the foreseeable future.

This trend will continue, because the network bean-counters will increasingly refuse to cough up the cash to repair/replace dying decks. Especially if they get used less and less in daily operations.
