Fascinating stuff. I am fascinated by all of this and have seen a lot of coverage'saved' from the 1970's. The rai channel is doing a great job of showing it eg whole of monza 1977 in colour,but I don't know if bernie/FOM had a word but you now can't access their footage on their website outside Italy but kind Italians are putting the latest editions on youtube.
eg
Two questions? Was 1977 Mosport ever televised? I have seen Hunt hit the marshal on a youtube clip with I think french commentary on some sort of archive style review I suspect. I had memories of seeing the Mass /Hunt shunt and found it 3 minutes into the Sheene/Hunt documentary on youtube. Unfortunately the excellent motors tv reiew just seem to have one camera really there.

Second question concerned Swedish coverage. ITV provided the film crew in 1978 but was it televised before 1978.
Here is a clip I found on youtube which i think is tv coverage.

There is mention of a reputed recent discovery of Austrian coverage of Canada 77 in this more recent thread:

Also check out dweller23's comprehensive listing linked to in post 1 of this thread - it includes the coverage of Canada 1977 (listed as not confirmed) and indicates that the coverage of the Swedish GP before 1978 was very limited:
