Idiomatic expression "what's in store on television"?

[Jordano]

I didn't understand this question. Is There a link where I can find a explanation? thanks

Thanks everybody on the forum for your answers. I think I understand now, 'in store' means 'reserved'. Which means the idiom ' what's in store for you on the television tonight' means ' what programmes are reserved/available for you on the television tonight'.
Am I right? Please verivy.

[Alan]

Hi,

I would say 'available' and not 'reserved'.

Any good?

Time will tell - we will know after some time has passed; we will find out in the future.

Saving for a rainy day - not acting on something now, but storing it for future use; saving something that will be useful in the future for that time.

Hello BZ,
Yes time will tell ,but if I ask something I would like saving a little health for the future for myself and for my husband and of course for my children and grandchildren. When I used to be young I always laughed when my grandmother told us: " The health is the most important."
Now I don't laugh because I know from experience without health you can't do anything.
I wish you also very good health!!!

[Zahrakharan]

Hi Alan
I can't understand why i should use 'store'. Could you explain please?

[Niaz1]

why not market or shop?

[Niaz1]

why not shop or market?it does not make sense to me :(

[Beeesneees]

'Store' here does not menan 'market' or 'shop'

what does the future have in store' is idiomatic and means 'what does the future hold for me'
