Friend of mine recorded audio of TV news for years, using a timer and 1/4" audio tape at low speed. In the late 80s I did sound design for a Tom Lehrer music show at UC Santa Cruz and used extensive sound clips to illustrate the play, sort of a "That Was the Week That Was" kind of thing. If we'd had video it might have been a different show!
These will show up in similar situations down the road. Too bad she didn't have videos of the Kennedy weekend media marathon! Plenty of radio on that...
