The Globe and Mail reports in its Monday edition that decades of MuchMusic programming is being rescued and resuscitated. A Canadian Press dispatch to The Globe says that the music channel's owner Bell Media is on the final stretch of a years-long project that involves going through tens of thousands of videotapes and transferring pieces of history into a new digital archive, said Bell's Justin Stockman. "Basically, any interview with any artist you could imagine," he told CP. That means everything from sit-downs with Canadian and international musicians to special event broadcasts will find a more permanent home safe from the gradual deterioration of tape. Many videotapes of MuchMusic sat on shelves in the lower level of the station's former Toronto headquarters known as the Chum-City Building on Queen and John Street, now home to Bell Media. The massive collection eventually overflowed to other locations. Saving all of that footage became a gargantuan task. Making the challenge trickier was the variety of videotape formats MuchMusic used over the years. On the rescue list were the interviews and memorable programs such as the media literacy talks on Too Much 4 Much and the winter spectacle of the Snow Job gatherings.
