   "Film at 11", "Pictures at 11" or "News at 11" is a US idiom from television news broadcasting, where viewers are informed that footage of a breaking news story will be screened later that day. The word "film" in the phrase dates back to the early decades of TV news when footage was regularly recorded on film. 11 PM is the traditional time for late evening local news broadcasts in the Eastern and Pacific time zones of the United States, while the late evening news comes at 10 PM in the middle time zones (Mountain and Central).

1. Film at 11

   The idiom "Film at 11" originates from television news broadcasting. Traditionally, it follows a promotion aired earlier in the evening for a particular story to be detailed on a later local news broadcast at 11 p.m., a traditional timeslot for local news broadcasts in the Eastern and Pacific time zones of the United States. The phrase itself is now obsolete, since videotape has replaced film as the medium of choice for news reporting.

1. film at 11

   [MIT: in parody of TV newscasters] 1. Used in conversation to announce ordinary events, with a sarcastic implication that these events are earth-shattering. “ITS crashes; film at 11.” “Bug found in scheduler; film at 11.” 2. Also widely used outside MIT to indicate that additional information will be available at some future time, without the implication of anything particularly ordinary about the referenced event. For example, “The mail file server died this morning; we found garbage all over the root directory. Film at 11.” would indicate that a major failure had occurred but that the people working on it have no additional information about it as yet; use of the phrase in this way suggests gently that the problem is liable to be fixed more quickly if the people doing the fixing can spend time doing the fixing rather than responding to questions, the answers to which will appear on the normal “11:00 news”, if people will just be patient.The variant “MPEGs at 11” has recently been cited (MPEG is a digital-video format.)
