This is a fun story for a Friday evening. If we peg the beginnings of intentional electromagnetic emission from our planet at 1900, then by 2226 all of these stars will be able to "receive" or potentially detect, non-random emissions from the planet which will scale exponentially both in power and in frequency.

Those stars that are currently between 50 and 70 light years away will be experiencing our "golden age of television" about now.

Perhaps it would be useful to have a SETI project that focused on EM emissions to see if any of them have started transmitting. It would be hilarious if the first reception from an alien civilization was "Who shot JR?"
