The only reason you make that connection is because you know the story little kids don't automatically assume what we do.
I doubt it since I have never paid any attention to the tv and the story. If a child is oblivious to the scary two floors they will travel, I believe they will be oblivious to a small tv that they can't even see if they are standing in the room full of people.
I just feel there is no fear level difference in standing in a room full of people while a little tv runs it's preshow vs an elevator that shows a scene of "ghosts" who are then electrocuted, then travel through a floor that has very strange creepy objects and being pushed into a pitch dark elevator shaft. There is no rationalizing to me that is not scary - but the pre-show room is.

I mean it doesn't matter to me, the parents can ask to skip ahead on the ride.
