Article about a television news program, not reliably sourceable as passing WP:TVSHOW. Full disclosure, I was actually the original creator of this, over a decade ago when our notability criteria for television shows were very different than they are now -- at the time, simple verification that the show existed was all that was necessary, and independently verifying its significance via coverage in sources other than itself was strictly optional. But precisely because of all the junk that approach left us dealing with, the notability criteria have since been tightened up considerably, and this show — which was really just a "digging random old newscasts out of the time capsule and running them as filler programming at 3 or 4 in the morning" thing rather than a significant newscast in its own right — just never garnered any non-trivial coverage for the purposes of clearing the tighter standards that pertain in 2021.
