Well, I have their site up refreshing it periodically, so if they post it online, I'll have it within moments of them posting it.

Someone over at Tapley's site, claiming inside knowledge, said 2PM EST.

Given the site's credibility, it'll probably be here in five minutes.

Noon or later EST, but since they were supposed to have met yesterday and all that had to be done today is make the announcement, it should have happened already.

When do they typically announce?
