What's with all these Not Retro schedules?

S

I don't understand why people keep posting these current schedules here. I thought this was supposed to be for Retro Schedules. I'm just saying because current schedules you can pretty much find anywhere, such as Zap2It, where a lot of you are getting these current schedules. So what's the point of posting them here?

To be fair, the description of this subforum is "Discuss retro and current TV Schedules".

Also, I agree with what @Cool_guy81 said. This was the description of the original Not Retro schedule (from yours truly):
I thought this would be interesting. Since the new season is about to begin and schedules will change, I thought it would be interesting to "archive" what stations in the Philadelphia area are airing today.
There are already some differences between the current schedules and the schedule then, even though it was only about a month ago. I would've probably forgotten most of the differences already, so I think it's interesting to archive these current schedules. Eventually they won't be on Zap2it, obviously.
 
This entire section needs to be divided into several categories - at least three.

Golden Age of TV (pre-1970)
'70s and '80s
'90s, '00s, and Today

I just ignore going past this area now as the schedules from early 2021, 2020 and the '10s have been totally redundant.
I'm guessing with the advancement of sites like Newspapers.com on adding tons of archived newspaper listings, this area doesn't get a lot of activity anymore.
 
The issue, as I see it, is that "NOT RETRO" schedules come up in a search of RETRO schedules. Otherwise, I really wouldn't mind.
 
I agree the Not Retro ones might need their it’s own file. I don’t even see too many retro schedules even getting posted anymore aside from 10 pages of daily Iowa schedules.
