Link to Missed Shows?

It seems like a recurring issue with CNN original documentaries - the show gets bumped by a news event, but you would think they would be more helpful in letting viewers know when the show is going to repeat.
Granted, I don't spend more than a minute watching the news event, but I would think you could go online to access the show. I have been trying to watch the Eighties show, Video Killed the Radio Star, but I have yet to find a link on the website that would let me watch a missed show, like you can on major networks.
Does anyone know if there is a link to watch this show through CNN?

Thanks, I saw that after posting. I was wondering if I could actually link to CNN.com, but they have yet to set up a format similar to major networks where you do that.

Funny, instead of looking for a YouTube link or a Torrent, I'm trying to make sure they get some sponsorship money for the episode. Clearly the honest route is also incredibly difficult.

I set my DVR for the upcoming episodes. Hopefully they show on an day that isn't very newsworthy.

Trump's circus-ringmaster antics make EVERY day newsworthy at CNN. Look for yet another cancellation tonight, because he hit the "magic number" for the GOP nomination.

If there's no valid excuse to postpone an episode (and tonight there really isn't), they'll still find one.

Edit: Nope...they're now running this week's episode, right on schedule. HUZZAH!

Get Prepared... I'll bet you tonight's episode will be preempted by coverage of Ali's death... I personally think Muhammad Ali's death has been over-covered, but again this is the summer and not much real news out there.

Personally, I am thankful that Ali has taken Trump and Clinton off the crawl. I've been exhausted with the coverage of the Presidential Race since January. It's not that I don't care, it's just exhausting the way the 24-hour news shows beat a story to death.

I feel stupid for posting this question. Turns out my cable provider has it OnDemand.
