Got mixed up on years.

However, the month and days are accurate to what I saw, so it could mean that RX was delayed for another reason entirely or somebody mistranslated the date of it's premiere from the onset.

I know what it was! That "Big Gathering" Special Episode which premiered after Golgom was defeated. It showcased the Showa Riders from Ichigo onward in anticipation of RX, and the 23rd is seven days after the 16th. The early ads considered the "Big Gathering" as a beginning even though the legitimate first episode wasn't until the 23rd.
