The non-specific answer is that you've enabled:

Reschedule Higher Priorities
Move higher priority programs to other cards and showings when resolving 
conflicts.  This can be used to record lower priority programs that 
would otherwise not be recorded, but risks missing a higher priority 
program if the schedule changes.


The details depend on the details of your schedule.
