Duplicate XP from the same show on VHS and live broadcast

When watching a VHS skill tape, the game correctly tracks how many XP ticks have been gotten and won't give them to you again, e.g. if an episode has 7 XP ticks, and you stop the tape after 3 ticks, replay from start, it will only give the last 4 ticks (at least in SP). However, there is some (but not complete) overlap between the VHS and live broadcast episodes, and watching the exact same episode on live Life&Living broadcast will always grant all the XP all over again, while the dialog is exactly the same.

 

This is unintuitive and immersion-breaking, because it shouldn't matter if the same content is broadcasted live or recorded.

 

If instead the state of these episodes would be shared between VHS and live broadcasts, this also means that missing a broadcast doesn't mean permanently missing out on XP. This would effectively resolve the issue of many players feeling necessitated to binge Life&Living during the early game, and naturally incentivize them to have more variety in their first week.
