I was amused by the BBC's news lineup for today when I saw it a few days ago. News at 1 at 1:10, news at 6 at 7:35, news at 10 at 11:30. Hardly seems worth it to preserve the names by the time you get to 90 minutes off from the regular start time.
However, the worst example of that sort of thing I can remember was when Mark McGwire was close to the home run title and Fox (which had only just gotten the MLB contract) aired the game where he hit number 62 under the branding of "Saturday Afternoon Baseball" even though it was a Tuesday night.
