Not recent news - but I see the TVNZ avalon facility was mentioned today as being up for sale - I think TVNZ has been trying to get rid of it for quite some time.

I really hope someone has had a thorough search of the whole place for old video tape/film. There must have been a lot of BBC tv programs that went through there over the years that are now in the missing presumed wipe category.

Amazing how much of the stuff that has been recovered came from the 'colonial' broadcasters who had accidentally kept a copy of something in a cupboard.

Who knows - maybe a few vanished treasures (Dr Who etc) might be sitting in a box somewhere.
