Redundancy would have made this a non issue. Even just local cold storage.
50 TB isn't even that much space, certainly not for a broadcaster. No reason not to have a local copy. 50 PB, I could see a small PBS affiliate not having the resources to manage locally, but you can put 50 TB in consumer-grade NAS.
You can put this on 2 HDDs nowadays. This is pathetic.
