Maybe they replaced the music? That's what they did in order to be able to release the series Daria on DVD. Included in the package was an apology letter explaining why they had to replace all the music.
They might have also secured some of the rights and just dropped the episodes containing songs where they couldn't. That's what Disney did when they put The Muppet Show on Disney+. A few episodes are missing because even with Disney's money they couldn't get the rights to all the songs.
OK, you made me look at that channel again. I thought WKRP was on at 5:30 (remember the days when you could only watch a show when it was "on"?) but it turns out it was 9:30 today.
I only heard a few seconds of Another One Bites the Dust and I'm not sure if it was the Queen version or not.
The closing music was custom, I think. So maybe they are just using the non-problematic episodes.
So fun to visit the backwaters of the TV world. They had a commercial for a product that helps you GAIN weight!
