Guding light, as the world turns, passions, etc.

It means that another show has been put on in its place generally as a one time occurance.

The scheduled programme isn't on, usually because of some sporting event. It will be rescheduled to be shown at another time, usually the next day.

Something more interesting to the masses is aired instead.
