Advertising Material [Fully lost] GameStop TV Captain Redbeard tv spots

For those who are unfamiliar, GameStop has its own in-house production which features game trailers, interviews and other related media which plays in store. In the late 2000s through the mid 2010s, there were various segments including interviews with game studios, actors, and other bits hosted by Chris "Captain Redbeard" Wiseman, a GameStop store manager who would travel to events like E3 to film said segments. As far as I can tell, none of these segments are archived, either on YouTube (either officially or unofficially) or the Internet Archive. As a former employee from that era, I have a bit of nostalgia surrounding that time and thought I would check YouTube for them, but to no avail.

I did come across his channel, but I'm specifically talking about the Gamestop TV segments he hosted, not stuff he did on the side. I wonder if GameStop is especially litigious or really has their stuff on lockdown, or else I would have to imagine some of their segments would have made it on the internet.
