The scheduler does not use "best fit".  It always uses first fit with
some simple heuristics.  One of those heuristics is using priority to
control the order in which things are tried.

Your testsched does not show this.  It still shows Rookie Blue being
recorded on CITI 3 which will prevent The Office from being recorded
on WGRZ 11.

Not seeing The Office on WGRZ 11 looks like a listings problem and
should be investigated.
