It’s not like in our day, pre Sky and digital platforms, you always had a plethora of film being shown for the first time on Network TV.

Trivia question, which TV entertainment show was shown on BBC One every Xmas Day from 1955 till the early 1980’s?

So as far as I can tell

The OP posted something on the internet which was rumour presented as fact.

4 or 5 people instantly took it as fact as formed a conclusion and posted reaction on the internet on that basis

A small example of why we live in the world we do

TBH Xmas TV has been gash for years, you could make it up from memory and get 75% right.

The Black and White Minstrel show.

My Grandad would watch it every year.
