      Amazon published an article about how they made a cloud backup of BBC archives, UK tv channel. The article says that 100 years of BBC content amounted to 25 petabytes of storage (~25000 TB). I would think that PBS archives would need a similar amount of storage.

        the bbc archive is across multiple channels that almost exclusively produce original programming

        from what i understand, 9 pbs is a local news channel that mostly airs syndicated shows
