In collaboration with the Internet Archive's TV News Archive, the TV Explorer allows search back to 2009 for CNN/MSNBC/Fox, 2010 for the "big three" evening news broadcasts, ~2014 for business channels, with other start/end dates for a variety of other channels (NOTE that the archive.org website keyword search is a discovery search engine and thus returns only a list of matching broadcasts regardless of how many times the phrase was mentioned in each vs the Explorer was designed for scholarly and journalistic use cases and thus returns the number of actual times the phrase was mentioned over time with various analytics): https://api.gdeltproject.org/api/v2/summary/summary?d=iatv For CNN/MSNBC/Fox/BBC News London, you can also search the onscreen text back to 2020 and evening news broadcasts back to 2010: https://api.gdeltproject.org/api/v2/summary/summary?d=iatvai We completed machine transcription through fidelity-preserving LSMs (which uniquely preserve code switching and which don't suffer the same issues as fluency LSMs like Whisper) of the complete 2.5-million-hour international archive earlier this year spanning more than 50 countries in 150 languages over 24 years and will be making that searchable soon as well: https://blog.gdeltproject.org/how-we-transcribed-2-5-million-hours-of-tv-new... You can keyword search the 2017-present global web news monitoring in 400 languages, with the complete 30+ year historical archive available soon: https://api.gdeltproject.org/api/v2/summary/summary?d=web Journalists and scholars can also perform a wealth of more advanced visual and textual analyses on all of the collections (for example, using image-based embeddings to visually cluster a day of Russian, Iranian and Chinese television, identify who is telling the story on Russian television's 60 minutes, cluster a day of global news, use LLMs/LSMs/LMMs to summarize, applying sentiment, NLP, NLU, anomaly detection, narrative framing, and a wide array of other analytic techniques): https://blog.gdeltproject.org/video-web-summit-2023-multimodal-generative-ai...

Hi, this is the well-known TV archive https://tvnews.vanderbilt.edu/ but I don't know how comprehensive it is.
FWIW, I use the online news story versions of CNN and Fox etc to do analysis as a sort of "proxy." But it's not really the same thing and I think Stu's observation about the repetition of a particular phrase is interesting!
MediaCloud <https://mediacloud.org/> offers a way to search phrases in a range of media across the world (for free).

Hi. I have used ProQuest data to access historical news articles. It is a very comprehensive database of newspapers in the US. But I am interested in knowing if there is a repository of TV news content.
Please let me know.

If I want to find out how many times close variants of the phrase “not enough fraud to change the outcome of the election” have been used by the media on air and in print since the 2020 US election, what database or set of databases would be most comprehensive? Can the data be extracted to a spreadsheet?
Thanks, ~Stu
