We have had spoiler warnings on TV regarding the announcement of sports 
scores.  Generally it is when the station broadcasting the event is time 
shifting, because the original event took place overseas in the middle 
of the night, or they were pre-occupied with another conflicting event.  
These spoiler warnings are almost invariably applicable for periods less 
than 24 hours.
