Editing Super Bowl I (section)

===Lost recording===
All known broadcast tapes of the game in its entirety were subsequently [[Lost television broadcast|wiped]] by both NBC and CBS to save costs, a common practice in the TV industry at the time, as videotapes were very expensive (one half-hour tape cost around $300 at the time, equivalent to ${{Inflation|US|300|1967|fmt=c|r=-2}} in {{inflation-year|US}} dollars), plus it was not foreseen how big the game was going to become.<ref name="Found" /> This has prevented studies comparing each network's respective telecast.

For many years, only two small samples of the telecasts were known to have survived, showing [[Max McGee]]'s opening touchdown and [[Jim Taylor (fullback)|Jim Taylor]]'s touchdown run. Both were shown in 1991 on [[HBO]]'s ''Play by Play: A History of Sports Television'' and on the [[Super Bowl XXV]] pregame show.<ref name="Found" /> In January 2011, a partial recording of the CBS telecast was reported to have been found in a Pennsylvania attic and restored by the [[Paley Center for Media]] in New York.<ref name="Found">{{Cite news |last=Roth |first=David  |last2=Diamond |first2=Jared |date=February 5, 2011 |title=Found at Last: A Tape of the First Super Bowl |url=https://www.wsj.com/articles/SB10001424052748704709304576124373773290508 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170830075639/https://www.wsj.com/articles/SB10001424052748704709304576124373773290508 |archive-date=August 30, 2017 |access-date=August 8, 2017 |work=The Wall Street Journal}}</ref> The [[Quadruplex videotape|two-inch color videotape]] is the most complete version of the broadcast yet discovered, missing only the halftime show and most of the third quarter. The NFL owns the broadcast [[copyright]] and has blocked its sale or distribution. After remaining anonymous and communicating with the media only through his lawyer since the recording's discovery, the owner of the recording, Troy Haupt, came forward to ''[[The New York Times]]'' in 2016 to tell his side of the story.<ref>{{Cite news|title = Out of a Rare Super Bowl I Recording, a Clash With the N.F.L.

[[NFL Films]] had a camera crew present, and retains a substantial amount of film footage in its archives, some of which have been released in its film productions. One such presentation was the ''NFL's Greatest Games'' episode about this Super Bowl, entitled ''The Spectacle of a Sport'' (also the title of the Super Bowl{{nbsp}}I highlight film).<ref name=hill>{{cite magazine|last1=Hill|first1=Jeffrey|title=Winning Is Gut Pride: A Look at the NFL Super Bowl Films|url=http://www.slantmagazine.com/house/article/winning-is-gut-pride-a-look-at-the-nfl-super-bowl-films|magazine=Slant Magazine|access-date=June 9, 2015|date=February 3, 2008|archive-date=May 30, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150530082158/http://www.slantmagazine.com/house/article/winning-is-gut-pride-a-look-at-the-nfl-super-bowl-films|url-status=live}}</ref>

On January 11, 2016, the NFL announced that "in an exhaustive process that took months to complete, NFL Films searched its enormous archives of footage and were able to locate all 145 plays from Super Bowl{{nbsp}}I from more than a couple of dozen disparate sources. Once all the plays were located, NFL Films was able to put the plays in order and stitch them together while fully restoring, re-mastering, and color-correcting the footage. Finally, audio from the NBC Sports radio broadcast featuring announcers Jim Simpson and George Ratterman was layered on top of the footage to complete the broadcast. The final result represents the only known video footage of the entire action from Super Bowl{{nbsp}}I." It then announced that [[NFL Network]] would broadcast the newly pieced together footage in its entirety on January 15, 2016—the 49th anniversary of the contest. This footage was nearly all on film with the exception of several player introductions and a post-game locker room chat between Pat Summerall and Pete Rozelle.<ref>{{cite news|title=NFL Network to re-air Super Bowl I for first time|url=http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000620927/article/nfl-network-to-reair-super-bowl-i-for-first-time|publisher=National Football League|date=January 11, 2016|access-date=January 13, 2016|archive-date=January 12, 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160112152157/http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000620927/article/nfl-network-to-reair-super-bowl-i-for-first-time|url-status=dead}}</ref>
