I don't think I have ever asked for a reservation or saw a need to. Even when I had time-and-date reasons (like when I did a show promoting Penguicon), I considered it my responsibility to get the show recorded and uploaded in sufficient time that I could get a slot that did the job for me. I think there may be circumstances where someone has a legitimate need to reserve a slot, but they should be rare.
