This started happening last week with ‘The Goldbergs’. So far, it’s the only program I’ve found that’s affected. Anyone else seeing this?
It must be your local station providing incorrect data. My guide data is correctly showing episodes as not being flagged as new.
Thanks for checking on your side. I’ll just keep an eye on 'em.
Just as more verification it’s a local guide issue, not flagged as new for me either.
I appreciate it. I checked TitanTV and it shows up as a repeat. I’m not sure where the two different providers are getting their info. It seems if the local station was providing it, they’d both show as new. IDK anything about it though so… Anyway, not a big deal as the new season starts in a few weeks so it should be back to normal - at least for a while 
One you pay for, the other is free…
This isn’t the first time an old show has been marked as new. Or a new show not marked as new.
But as far as I can tell this hasn’t ripped a hole in the space-time continuum.

Maybe not a hole, but if new shows continue to be old, and old shows continue to be new, there may be some distortion in space-time.
If we were continuous, new shows would become old, old shows would never be new again.
If a paid service shows “First aired” several months ago… what algorithm can’t figure out it’s old?
Well, yesterday my brother told me what would happen tomorrow - but it happened today.

When there are hundreds of TV shows with thousands of episodes on hundreds of stations each week, I don’t think any guide provider that gets it’s data from the actual stations validates all the fields.
This week I had a primary network(with subs) have a 2 1/2 day unplanned broadcast outage and I’m still alive.
But do guide companies actually contact stations (or stations report to guide reporters)? Generally stations pay syndicators a cash license fee for a block of programming. Syndication Companies release episodes and in turn schedules.
In the above example, a major network! They’re not looking for obscure sub-channels to have accurate programing updated - primary channels carrying major network programming during prime [space]-time.
