Why do the TV guide listings not match what is actually on television?
All printed materials have deadlines for publishing. The listings submitted to the publishers are correct at the time of deadline. Television is a dynamic media. All programs are subject to change and every attempt will be made to reschedule at the appropriate times. Factors which may necessitate a pre-emption include: • special events such as the Academy Awards • special programming by the networks such as a mini-series • sporting events whose schedules are difficult to predict such as playoff hockey • late breaking news such as a major disaster or political announcement • unavailability of scheduled programs such as when a satellite transmission is not received.
