It says the same thing here for tomorrow.

If you read the details a bit closer, it does not say it is a rerun from 1970, 
it says that it has *NO* information about the episode at all (Unidentified 
Episode) , and when I have seen that happen (and it happens all of the time on 
lots of shows) it puts the original air date to be what appears to be the 
original air date for the series.

On shows like that I usually just tell it to "don't match duplicates" as the 
information does not always appear to be provided, and often is not reliable 
even when it is provided.   The "don't match duplicates" probably makes sense on 
news shows like this where the broadcast at the same time each day is unlikely 
to ever be a repeat.

I saw it all of the time with various shows on all versions.  It likely means 
that no one is telling SD the episode information, almost all of the news type 
shows seem to be this way, or at least a good portion of them are this way.  I 
am not sure if SD can do anything about that or not, someone with SD can 
probably tell if they can or cannot.
