Some time last year I attempted to make a similar tool. I was able to retrieve comments that had been deleted in the requests so I suspect that there is a "display flag" of sorts that is checked against.
I don't have an online guide handy, but I do have a digital antenna (something I've written about before). (If you have line-of-sight with the tower, you can still watch major sports events for free. It's not dead.)
However, I think I saw WKRP in the "broadcast TV" popup on my TV. You can tell that they're going out on the web to get it, because at first it says "no information available" and then it populates the channels. It was on Channel 1 in the Bay Area, which shows almost all ancient shows.
You actually meant your local TV listings! I thought there was a TV listings section in the article, lol. I was confused as to how WKRP could've been in the public domain.
OK, you made me look at that channel again. I thought WKRP was on at 5:30 (remember the days when you could only watch a show when it was "on"?) but it turns out it was 9:30 today.
I only heard a few seconds of Another One Bites the Dust and I'm not sure if it was the Queen version or not.
The closing music was custom, I think. So maybe they are just using the non-problematic episodes.
So fun to visit the backwaters of the TV world. They had a commercial for a product that helps you GAIN weight!
They were known in the 90's for insuring pro wrestlers bodies if they were injured to the point that they could no longer perform. It was pretty common to hear about a wrestler retiring with a "Lloyds settlement".
