To be announced and To be determined (often abbreviated as TBA and TBD, respectively) are placeholder terms used very broadly to indicate that although something is scheduled or anticipated to happen, a particular aspect of that thing remains to be arranged. Although the phrases are often used interchangeably, "to be announced" is subtly different from "to be determined" in that the aspect so designated may have already been "determined", but is not yet suitable for public announcement. Other similar phrases sometimes used to convey the same meaning, and using the same abbreviations, include To be ascertained, To be arranged, To be advised, and To be decided.
