Your output shows KTXL, not KXTL, though the others from KCRA and KMAX
should show (at least in the direct query). Note that the only ones
that occur in the future are on KTXL, so... Note, also, you're not
including KTXLDT or KCRADT or KMAXDT.

Unrelated to the problem you're seeing, but--since you are most likely
using Schedules Direct--why aren't you using the example "first
episodes" clause?
AND program.programid LIKE 'EP%0001'
AND program.originalairdate = DATE(program.starttime)
Though the example in in 0.20-fixes is:
program.previouslyshown = 0
AND program.first > 0
AND program.programid LIKE 'EP%0001'
AND DAYOFYEAR(program.originalairdate) =
DAYOFYEAR(program.starttime)
