But how ?

And why?

Sometimes it's just amazing to look at how much dedication someone put into a list like this, and wonder what they do with this information. It's inspiring (to me at least.)

In a park near my hotel, there's an elderly gentleman who uses a giant brush to paint calligraphy on concrete walkways every morning. He paints it with water - so it gradually evaporates over the course of the next hour or so. I admire his work in the same way I admire this web page.

The table of events reminded me of an SCP article, except without any sort of buildup towards something supernatural.

And why?

Exercise for Jira. /s

I am guessing someone who works at the station shared some internal documents.

I remember in the mid 90s watching Nickelodeon before school and they played an entire 30m block of commercials instead of a program. They probably lost the tape or something.

I can imagine that it used to be valuable information for advertisers or respectively for the channel as preparation for advertisers complaints.

There are definitely outside organizations whose sole responsibility is to monitor TV/radio broadcasts and nowadays even podcast sponsor breaks to ensure that ad copy is inserted as agreed. (Source: I was contracted to do some of that work for a time.)
