yes. a lot of live broadcasts such as sports or teleplays wouldn't even have been recorded at all. some but not many programmes would have been archived onto film, for international sales or if it was considered noteworthy enough to be archived. there were even agreements to wipe programmes so they wouldn't be rebroadcast, due to worries that they would stop producing new shows. episodes of all sorts of classic tv like dads army, dr who, morcambe and wise, which would have an huge market for home video or streaming just gone.
