Update station IDs and guide data for local CBS News

Gracenote now has guide data for all of the CBS News local channels. Previously, the only source that had any guide data for these channels was Pluto.

Could we get the tvc-guide-stationid's updated for our TVE tuners? I went ahead and listed all of the station IDs below.

Additionally:

  • There have been a couple of name changes beyond the general CBSN to CBS News rebranding; "CBSN San Francisco Bay Area" is now "CBS News Bay Area", "CBSN Denver" is now "CBS News Colorado".
  • They added a "CBS News Miami".

Yay, these look so much better with guide data!

The guide data for CBS News Los Angeles (6972) appears to be off by 3 hours. The KCAL noon news is listed for 3:00 pm.

The New York channel seems to be correct. (6 PM news listed for 3:00 pm PT.)

What time zone are you in? If you're on the East Coast, that guide data is correct: when it's 3 in NY, it's 12 in LA.

Pacific, as implied by the last sentence of my post.

You're right, it's definitely off. Easy to spot when you look at it besides the NY listing; noon EST should be at the same time as 9AM PST, not 6AM.

I feel like this has been a common problem with streaming channels recently, I wonder if it's an issue with Channels or Gracenote? My bet is on Gracenote, but here and here are other instances of incorrect time zone offsets.

Too much fun!
Same problem with 6082 Sacramento being off 3 hours. News at 4 airing at 7PM?

@tmm1
6975 SF-CBSNEWS CBSNWBA should be tvc-guide-stationid="123121", 123127 is for Baltimore

Oops that was probably a mistake from using my work in my first post. Thanks for catching that.
