the beginning of the month would start as the formula states (first Monday of
a calendar month. The previous month ends the Sunday before that date.

February ended on Sunday, March 2 and March began on Monday, March 3.

March ends on Sunday April 6 and April begins Monday April 7.

TV scheduling is funny that way.

Your "rules", as I understand them, result in some overlap. How does that get
dealt with in the broadcast world?
