7/1/2015: time travel tv

WPIX 11 on the TV in my current NYC hotel room keeps displaying the “up next” or “currently on” screen text with TV shows like Good Times, Three’s Company, Sandford and Son, The Jefferson’s, All in the Family, etc.

Problem is…these shows haven’t appeared on local stations, like WPIX, in years. Only a few of them show up as repeats on classic TV cable channels, like Nick at Night or Me TV, but I don’t even have those channels on this TV. What the hell is going on here?

It’s as if I’m in some "in between" time travel dimension and the TV is getting crossed signals from different decades. None of the shows listed in the little black boxes at the bottom of the screen ever came on the TV and none of them were actually on screen. All the shows on screen were modern, year 2000 and greater, shows.

WPIX definitely showed these shows back when they were on in the 70s and 80s (and even repeats in the 90s and maybe early 2000s) but they definitely do not show them in 2015 and haven't for many years.

They never actually came on the TV and WPIX claimed they don’t show those programs, when I had my assistant check with them.
