I don't particularly, although it's probably a good way to determine 
that "something's gone wrong". However, it was fairly easy to dig 
through backups to derive this information historically:

tv      radio   date
1320    3324    May 1
1398    3381    Oct 8
3029    6549    Nov 1
2386    3393    Nov 5
2378    3392    Nov 14
2308    3398    Nov 19
2177    3392    Nov 20
2201    3333    Dec 8
2189    3376    Dec 17
2208    1391    Dec 23
1977    3339    Dec 26
1931    3236    Dec 29
1903    1394    Dec 29
