If no one taped it, it was gone.

For a while, YouTube filled the gap. It became the unofficial home for forgotten TV moments. But it’s starting to become unsustainable, as YouTube really doesn’t understand what archival is, and the evidence is there when the channels of archivers get terminated without any valid reasoning.

That’s why From The Lounge Room has been built from the ground up.

This site is independently hosted, and built to last longer than platforms that don’t really get the definition of preservation.

From late-night sign-offs to low-budget promos, idents to the ads that aired, this is the kind of stuff that made Australian TV feel like Australian TV.

Not everything has a place on a streaming service.
But that doesn’t mean it should be forgotten.

Let’s archive Australian Television, together.
