I heard mentioned on Broadway Radio's podcast today that there will be a 10 am embargo today. 

 

What could it be? Moulin Rouge?

I'm utterly confused. An embargo on what? What about Moulin Rouge would call for an embargo on something? Why 10am? What am I missing here?

An "Embargo"? What does that have to do with the show? Are you saying someone is looking to ban/stop the show?

A "press" embargo is when all media outlets can post about a press release. 

 

For example, when GLOW was renewed for Season 3 the other day. All media outlets posted about it at the exact time.

Gotcha. 

But a press embargo, by its very nature, means a BAN on publishing. So you mean that an embargo will END at 10am?

I guess so. It's just the term I learned in journalism school!

"In journalism and public relations, a news embargo or press embargo is a request or requirement by a source that the information or news provided by that source not be published until a certain date or certain conditions have been met."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/News_embargo

"An embargo is an agreement between a source and a media outlet that information—often contained in a press release—will not be published until a predetermined time."

Does the OP mean that a previously distributed press release has been OK'd for publication at 10AM today?

A press embargo keeps info from realeased until a certain time, news sources can realease any time after that.

Don't tease me like that! Though the rumors about her in The Devil Wears Prada gets me more hopeful than anything.

Wait, so this podcast said there's news but they can't tell you until 10am today? To me that's more lame than anything else.

It sounds like they recorded the news, but then realized the embargo was in place until 10 am and edited out the portion of the podcast until they reuploaded at 10 am.
