Thus a show that was       at       8 in the east we got at 6. So by 9 p.m. prime time was over.        A few shows were tape delayed, such as the Tonight show.        That was 11.30 eastern but delayed till 10.30 Mountain time.        5-6 Local/national news.        6-9 Prime time        9-10 Local shows (game shows, etc that are on 7-8 in the east)        10 p.m. local news        10.30 Late shows, (Tonight, movies, etc)        Morning shows (Today, etc) were on for many hours. In the east from       7-9, then for central time they continued on the air, and while PT they were       still 7-9 but it was 10/11 a.m. in the east.        There was one station that carried national news twice with a live feed       from NY/DC first, followed by one for our time. If a mistake happened on       the first show it was not repeated on the second, such as some glitch,       announcer coughing, etc. IOW, the news               > JM> Told you probably more than you cared to know. :)       >        > It makes for good trivial pursuit. |
