Getting a shift in semiweekly press days wrong, or half-assed

 I understand if you're a semiweekly and your pub days have to be Tuesday and Friday because that's when the press can fit you in, and bigger semiweeklies, or a daily or two, whether from your own ownership group or elsewhere, have first call.

Wednesday and Saturday are preferred, of course.

So, why would your parent company shift your Friday paper to Saturday, for getting Friday sports in the paper, although I think this still only gives them a Friday daytime press deadline, but not also adjust your Tuesday?

Who knows, with my favorite bad but not owned by a hedge fund chain.

Of course, other factors involved include press deadlines and more.
