This was a code change when Schedules Direct was first formed and the 
free DataDirect service was dropped--not related to the current change.  
IIRC, it was done this way simply because it wasn't worth the effort of 
re-coding mythfilldatabase to update the lineups at Schedules Direct 
(the way it used to do at the old DataDirect free service).
