Crazy. My dad made TV commercials, and at least into the late 90's, almost everything you saw on TV was Betamax.

It was actually BetacamSP a 1/2 commercial format developed in the 1990s to replace the commercial 3/4" Sony U-matic format used in television production since the early 1970s. It was not the same as the earlier consumer Betamax format.
