Really? Certainly not the originals. And I even doubt that many TV and radio stations have deleted these historical tapes. Several TV stations in Germany re-transmitted the original program of the event last night in full length. It looks as if there are plenty of copies of those tapes left, including crackling radio transmissions :-)

The tapes that recorded the original SSTV transmissions (that were higher fidelity than broadcast NTSC) appear to have been erased sometime in the 1980s. See Apollo 11 missing tapes.
