It still does mean something and if you ever thought revenue WASN'T a
part of it, you're just wrong. I get to see 'broadcast quality' video
from the 60's and 70's at work and while it was good in its day, it
doesn't hold a candle to what you have now. I'm one of those 'techs'
and I can tell you we DO give a hoot about how it looks and sounds.

It's very unlikely you are seeing broadcast electronic video from the 60s
and 70s as good as it was then. It'll have been transferred a few times as
tape formats go out of use - and the transfer equipment likely towards the
end of its life. Plus the fact that even a single generation of quad VTR
caused noticeable degradation, and most of the stuff which has been kept
will be two or more generations.
