What's the point? None of these people are broadcasting their shows, nor do they need legacy footage,
Be careful using the word never. I had a corporate client who said SD was a great size. After I built the open they decided that a 900 pixel width video for their website is what the had to have. I try to build everything in HD these days if I can.
Whether HD is just a buzz word and nothing else it doesn't matter to your client, if they want Nikes instead of brand X then you get them Nikes. We used to shot a lot of spots on film, and I love the look of film, but our clients wanted HD. And if that is the format we had to shot the spot on to get the job that is what we shot it on. At least that is how I see it. Sorry, I'm sure my post is not a very helpful answer compared to the one you where looking for.
