Wrong again, Tom. They have a basic idea of what will be on when. Like Big Brother will be on late mate early june until early september late august. Not exact dates.

All major TV stations plan two weeks in advance. Fact.

Nope, they confirm it to the press two weeks in advance. They commission shows to fill particular slots. The current schedules imo point to BB11 launching on 20th May after something someone posted because all of their schedules are clear by then. If they're considering that but decide against it and launch at the start of June, where do you think they're getting 2-3 weeks worth of programming from? It isn't just plucked from thin air.
