Question
The gabbai wants to announce during Shacharit about a change in the prayer time for tomorrow, and if he waits until after the end of the prayer, some people will not hear because they leave after Uva LeTzion. When is it appropriate to announce?
Answer
Before Ashrei.

Between the repetition of the Shatz and Tachanun, it is forbidden to interrupt, as explained in Shulchan Aruch, Siman 131, Se'if 1. And the Mishnah Berurah, Siman 132, Se'if 2, writes: "When announcing something, it should be announced before the Shatz begins to say Ashrei, and not between Ashrei and Lamnatzeach, and certainly not when the congregation is saying Ashrei or the order of Kedusha, so as not to disrupt their intention."
