Diagram

This game is challenging. I chose B for 19, E for 20 and E for 22, and got all three wrong. I did get the other questions right, but I think I might be missing inferences. My diagram did not tell me a whole lot that would help me solve 19.
I my diagram I have two columns for L and S. Each column has three rows for 8, 9 and 10 pm. I put a J and M on top the S column so I know they fit there. I also put a slashed out H and a slashed out F next to 10 and 8 respectively. What am I missing? Should I run hypothetical to get the right answer to 19?

Thanks for posting. Below is my diagram. Let me know what you think or if you have any questions.

Demetri's diagram is spot on, although I chose to do mine in a vertical fashion. It's entirely up to you.

I think the easiest way to tackle this game is to frame it. When you first make your diagram, it's really entirely blank. Aside from knowing that F cannot go during 08:00 AM, and H cannot go in 10:00 AM, there doesn't seem to be many other inferences to draw. But if you take a step back, and look at all the rules as a whole, particularly the -FM and -FJ and that JM must be on the studio side, it'll make you understand why framing is a definite possibility.

I broke mine down to 4 frames. There are, however, more possibilities/frames, but I thought 4 was sufficient. I started mine with the JM placements and then placed the F accordingly. From there on, you can fill the frames and then attack the questions.
