Nedanstående fanns till 2021 på oppetarkiv.se, men SVT håller på att flytta till svtplay.se: Öppet arkiv
Mailade oppetarkiv@svt.se och fick följande svar 2021-05-10:
“Hej!
Tack för ditt mejl! Det stämmer att det klippet inte finns tillgängligt nu.
Öppet arkiv-sajten var gammal och behövde mycket underhåll. Därför för vi nu över programmen till SVT Play. Det är en hel del arbete kvar att göra, och klippen förs, av tekniska skäl, inte över automatiskt utan måste göras manuellt. Vi är en väldigt liten redaktion och kan tyvärr inte säga när alla program förts över, men vi skriver upp ditt önskemål på åtgärdslistan.
Vänliga hälsningar Redaktionen för Öppet arkiv”
De flesta fanns även på privata Youtube-konton, men de begärde SVT att de skulle blockeras så de finns inte där heller längre…
