      Partly.   
      When I lived in Colorado in the mid '60s we were two hours behind   
   eastern time but our tv shows were set for eastern time.  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

      I was once banned years ago from playing Trivia Pursuit.  I kept winning   
   all the time.

     I can see why.  :)
