In case anyone is interested, the algorithm for the first 100 codes is:
1. Find the code in the following table.
2. Calculate day*month. (The month is known and the day is at the top.)
3. Move down that many lines in the table. (Start at top if you reach
the bottom.)
4. The label for that line gives the start time and channel. (All are
30 minute slots.)
e.g. 89 in May: Since 89 is in the 2nd column, move down 2*5=10 lines, gives
7:30 on channel 2.

Note: the units digit is sequential, except for the first 3 lines.
There are a few gaps I haven't been able to fill in.
Thanks to Curt Welch for determining the first 10 codes.
