</span></p>
<p><span
style="font-size:11.000000pt;font-family:'HelveticaNeue'">Today,
most broadcasters devote resources to web-based forms of television, both
in terms of
new programming and older programme materials. Broadcast archives are
becoming increasingly
important as ?old? television content has the potential to attract online
users. As a result, the major
question for audiovisual archives, scholars and media professionals is:
What does the current shift
to online forms actually imply for television heritage?
