I watched "Humor hour - Downers" at 7:30 pm and did't watch "I hear you - Word of the day".
I managed to unlock the achievement, thank you.

if you get stuck in a loop with just repeating shows, quit back to main menu and reload last save. each time i did this i would get new shows for each time slot.

I'm not getting Funny Old Customs - Pinata either after over 100 days, trying in different locations as Arthur. I'm going to try again as one of the other characters and see if I can get it.

I'm pretty sure you can't get them all with one character. Like others here I got stuck with one left as Arthur (in my case it was Old Newspapers) and unlocked it easily during my Sally playthrough.

Thank you comment section! It definitely is 7.30 PM for Humor Hour! All the guides have this wrong which leads me to believe it got changed in one of the many patches.
(P.S. Fvck this game)

Humor Hour is definitely in the 7.30 pm slot.
I had 3 of them left and never popped at the 4.00pm time slot.
Switched time and character and I got them almost immediately.

Not sure if I got lucky or this has been updated since the last comment. I got all but 3 on my first time going for this. When I reloaded the save the next day irl, I got the 3 I was missing back to back. So in total I got all of the shows as Arthur, on the radio in the Maidenholm bunker.

Total number of ingame days was between 20-25 ish.

Cheez should have read the comments first.
Only missed 19 Humor Hour - Brits and tryed it for hours and uncountable in game days to appear at 4PM. Nothing. Replayed whole arthur chapter just for fun. Tryed on in sallys. Also no brits at 4PM.
Then I read the comments. Slept one single time to 7:30pm and BOOM there it was on first try. Couldnt believe my ears nor my eyes.

The shows play at the same times every day. The list below includes which shows are at which times so you can sleep to fast forward to the time slots that contain the shows you need instead of checking all of them. I've formatted the times the same way the game does for your convenience.

HERE'S THE TRICK:
1) Find a house with a TV, a radio, and a bed.
2) Kill or knock out all of the residents so you don't have to worry about them.
3) TURN THE TV OFF and TURN ON THE RADIO so you can hear it when you're standing in front of the TV.
4) Go to sleep until the first time slot you need.
5) Wake and go to the TV. Wait until you hear the show start on the radio then turn the TV on.
6) You should see a message popup in the bottom left of your screen that says "You collected name of show - name of episode" within about 3 seconds.
7) Once that pops up (or doesn't) turn off the TV and head back to the bed to sleep until the next time slot you need.

Notes:
- Every time you sleep (outside of a few specific spots in missions) the game will autosave your progress. You can see the save icon pop up in the upper right hand corner.
- You do not have to watch the whole show! Once the message pops up, you're good. This includes if you just catch the last few seconds. So don't worry about making sure you only sleep up until the last interval before it starts. So long as it's still playing when you get there and turn on the TV you should be good.
- If it doesn't pop up within a few seconds, turn the TV off and back on again, if it still doesn't show up, you probably already have that one so go sleep it off until the next one!

Update: It looks like this can be done with a radio as well from a shelter but it still requires turning the radio of and on again for the shows to register.

The video below shows the process. The first show didn't popup the alert by the time it normally would have so I knew it must be one I'd previously collected so I went back to sleep and the second one shows the notification popping up:
https://xboxclips.com/Bungling%20Ninja/bee3946a-8124-4d00-91...

Thanks for the guide.
I noticed today that you can also walk up to one of the screens hanging from buildings in the streets and it will credit you with collecting the shows.

To check the status collectables, in the main menu, choose "Theatre" to see what has been collected.

Throughout the game TV programs will play at specified times. The program order will be random, but the same shows will always play at the same times. To collect this achievement right away, find a TV with a bench nearby. Sit on the bench and hit to wait, choose a preferred time, stand up, watch the TV until the collection message appears in the lower left corner, then return to the bench and wait until the next time. Repeat until all shows are collected.

As with all other parts of this game, bugs are reported, expected, and if certain episodes don’t appear, try again later or in a different Act.

During your walkthrough you will find TVs in people's houses or on the streets. They show TV shows with Uncle Jack. You have to watch each of the 45 shows for a while (a few seconds is usually enough) until a notification appears that you have "picked" that show. After which you can wait or sleep until the next airtime. The list of collected shows can be seen in the main menu in the Extras tab. Keep in mind that these shows are not broadcast linearly, their order is random, so it may take a while until you get all of them.
These are the times when these TV shows are shown:
07:00 - Wakey Wakey
12:00 - news hour.
4:00 pm - I Hear You - Humorous Hour - Playing with Jack - Funny Old Customs.
7:30 pm - Well, okay, okay - This tastes amazing - Famous Brits.
10:30 pm - good night.

If a show does not “crash” for a long time, then the best solution is to continue the collection with another character.
For example, my show did not crash for a very long time - “Ancient Traditions: Maypole” for Arthur (over 200 attempts). As a result, I knocked out this show for Sally already on the 9th day.

It is not necessary to catch programs on TVs, you can type them into the radio, there is a radio in every shelter, most often near the bed, you can quickly pass the time and catch the missing ones
