"Hey, Pat?"

"Yeah?"

"Judge Judy will be on Monday through Friday at 6p, right?"

"That... is where we are putting Dr. Phil. We aren't getting Judge Judy."

"No, we are. It was just announced Friday."

Later, when I checked my supervisor's email (he is out of town this week, returning on Wednesday) I discovered that, yes, we are in fact picking up Judge Judy, and yes, it will most likely be airing at 6pm.

Additionaly, for the past month or so we have known that the Dr. Phil deal was in the works, and were more or less just waiting on the official word for when it would start. Before my supervisor left, he informed me that it would most likely happen while he was gone, with the start date of the 24th.

We had developed a programming schedule for when Dr. Phil starts, and were just waiting on it to be announced before releasing it. Around 4pm today, I got a phone call from one of the salespeople.
"When is Springer moving to 2pm?"
"Whenever we get official word on Dr. Phil starting. Most likely the 24th, but that hasn't been announced yet."
"It was just announced."
"Oh. Well, then, yeah. Springer is moving to 2pm on the 24th."
