Babylon 5 on TNT. This’ll let you narrow down when this is from. The first four seasons were syndicated, TNT aired season 5, so this is either 1998, or later if it’s a rerun.
- The John Fogerty Premonition Concert on VH1 also would have been in 98 or later. 1998 seems like a good guess
  
  OK, I noticed Blue Jays at Braves, that’s an interleage game, which were only after 97, and very few of them per season. The Jays went to Atlanta once in 1998, June 26, 27, and 28. The 26th was a Friday.
I grew up in the eastern time zone and this seems to be from central. This makes me nostalgic but the time difference makes my brain fuzz out a little.
- These are Chicago stations.
  
  Big three networks in the lowest digits. Then 9 is WGN and 11 is PBS. The UHF wasteland is a mix of local (including 32, which was local before it became FOX). 50 and 66 were english language local, but Spanish stations kind of mixed things up in the '90s.
Chicago
Double home improvement instead of double Simpsons!?! Blasphemy
What the heck is Yvonne’s Piano?!
We're missing 2/3 of the actual network primetime lineup which, being a Friday, would have been mostly garbage.
