I think they finished over a month ago
In theory, there should be no reason why they should not be all there from many years. Who makes the decision of what stuff to keep and one assumes
they do still have them but just not available to the general public.

There's 20 out of 71 proms from this year available at that link, plus a "best bits" and for some reason one from 2005

Industry wide, the short lived use of Betamax for digital audio is now a >problem, as the amount of tape needing to be scanned and converted is
more than the expected life of the tape heads available, and nobody
seems to make them now.

I have heard that the same is tue of 2" quadruplex video tape, and
maybe 1" C-format as well, which means that there must exist videotape material which will never be seen again because there's nothing to
play it with.
I saw an item in one of today's papers about scientists developing 3D scanning techniques to read ancient papyrus scrolls that are too
brittle to be unrolled. I wonder if they'll be doing that with spools
of tape one day?
There'll be another problem with most professional videotapes in that
even if anybody does manage to find some video heads, there may be
nobody left who knows how to line up the machines for optimum playback quality. If they still work at all.
