Thank you soo much for reminding me that US mainstream TV stations usually suck when it comes to music. LOL
Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

To those American folk, we have done without decent stuff on television for far too long until BBC3 and 4 came along..
 
Many times I have yelled at the screen when catching a glimpse of Weather Report etc on one of the cable stations.
 
Best thing ever was when Top of The Pops was taken off air!
