What time was this meant to be on? It looks like the EPG has already been updated.

So, what will BBC One do? Is there another match that they can show or will they have to revert to Schedule B?

They'll have to show regular programming instead. I'd hope they show a film or something, but it'll probably be Traffic Cops or something.

Looks like they cancelled the highlights show tonight. The Apprentice USA is on instead but that was probably on anyway and they have just brought it and 'Joins BBC News' forward.

Is there anywhere to find 'published schedules' online? I.e. what would have been in the Radio Times or a daily newspaper.

It was due to be on, so that's great for anyone who had planned on watching it/recording it and the BBC moving it 40 minutes earlier. I know PVRs can handle over runs and delayed programmes, but can they handle shows being moved forward?

Tonight's planned schedule was the League Cup at 11.30pm, and an Apprentice USA double bill from 12.10am, with Weatherview at 1.40am, Sign Zone from 1.45am then BBC News from 3.45am.

Rather than joining BBC News for 40 minutes at 1.00am, surely they could have found a 40-minute filler for 11.30am, like an Inside Sport special or something like Comedy Connections.

The Manchester derby has been rescheduled for Tuesday 19th January, at Eastlands, it will be at Old Trafford the week after apparently. So it'll be interesting to see if the BBC will still broadcast the game.

Why wouldn't they?

Well they will show it. But they've scheduled Survivors on a Tuesday from next week, so it would have to move or take a break in it's second week to accommodate the football.

It's entirely possible that they'll bump it to another night as they've moved Life on Mars and The Apprentice, two ratings juggernauts, for football in the past. They could of course move Survivors (or the football) to BBC Two, which, again, they've previously done with The Apprentice.
