My guess is there was another recording scheduled at the same time 
(looks like The Young and the Restless), and maybe the scheduler 
couldn't find another instance of The Young and the Restless to record, 
but it could find another instance of The Oprah Winfrey Show, so it 
moved things around so as to be able to record both.  But I'm no expert 
at reading the scheduler output.
