Why? To what end? Record anytime on any channel and it will grab
the first convenient showing of each episode.

Actually, it's on this station so any channel with the same
callsign. IOW if I had a Weekslot for "The Apprentice" on KVBC,
it could use analog 3 KVBC or digital 123 KVBC.

So what? There is no reason to use undue restraint. The only
reason to use a timeslot is to avoid considering other showings
at other time or from other stations (The Simpsons at 8pm Sunday's
on FOX for example).

kFindDaily and kFindWeekly were implemented long ago and are most
useful for shows with multiple broadcasts but no descriptions or
inconsistent descriptive info.
