i meant if you were running a ruler held directly norf/south across a map, approximately. memphis is largely civilised and has a certain charm to it, except they stopped any public works the day i was born.

you see, it's because

Every post Khan has made about the place has given me the impression Memphis is in fact more a sewer than a city.

i'd hit it uh i mean...

awww, sorry. you know how i am wif typos. i'm surprised i even picked up on it given my mental state.

awww yeah


ha, i know what you mean. i still can't believe i managed to function as a human being today.

we get everything when it says it's going to be on for Central, even though it's not the exact same time as Central's broadcast.

IOW, If HIMYM says it's starting at 8/7 central, we get it at 7 mountain, not 6. Cause we're special, I guess.

Ah, so you'd dig Mogadishu if Khan were there?

this is true.

That ... is so peculiar.

i'd dig palmerston north if she were there.

It actually makes a lot of sense from a garnering ratings standpoint. TV is a business, after all.

Now, that's only for local channels. Cable n such, we're two hours behind Eastern, as well we should be.

G'night Ashley!

Oh yeah. It just seems funny to me that the advertised central time is also the mountain broadcast time. If I were in mountain and didn't know better, I'd hear "8/7 central" and assume "OK, so it's 6 here".

Ads there probably say that it's on at 7 mountain time. Ads are different across the nation


gone for real

I agree with that potentially happening, yeah. Of course, if you grow up in the Mountain Time Zone, it becomes second nature....but if you move there as an adult, it can be confusing.

 

[Slopsy]

'Night, Ashley!

 

[Axver]

Speaking of these timezones ... what happens to Hawaii and Alaska? Are they in their own little broadcast bubbles?

Nope.

8/7 Central. You just kind of learn that it's not on till 7 Mountain.

 

[Reggo]

More than likely. Hawaii's two hours behind Pacific Time, but who knows when things are actually broadcast with regard to the 8/7 Central thing.

 

[No spoken words]

Yes. They get royally screwed for Live sporting events and such, especially Hawaii.....but for network fare, things are time shifted properly. Hawaii, if memory serves, operates on the same time table that Central and Mountain do. Alaska I forget.....

 

[coolian2]

do they have television in alaska?

 

[DreamOutLoud13]

I KNOW! WHich is why I'm 90% positive it's the Grammys this happens with. I can't remember, but the strangeness of the situation is what sticks in my head, so I have to believe it's the Grammys. Where's Sicy?

Not just Hawaii, but all the live award shows. Say it starts at the beginning of primetime, 8 PM EST. That's 5 PM PST, where they're actually filming it. It will air simultaneously at 7 PM CST. But it won't air until 8 PM PST, which by then it's 11 PM EST. At the very least, this lets the celebrities watch the award show on TV during the after party. (PS. No one knows when anything airs in MST)

The time difference also becomes annoying to west coast fans during airings of WTF shows like Lost. Everyone on the eastern side of the country is getting it 3 hours before they will, so they really have to avoid internet spoilers during that time window.

 

[No spoken words]

do they have television in alaska?

They do, but usually eschew watching TV so they can keep an eye on Russia.

 

[Axver]

Ouch, sucks for Hawaii.

do they have television in alaska?

I think there's a communal one in Anchorage.

And shoot moose and wolves from helicopters.

Trust me, West Coast people would rather have Lost on at 9pm local than 6pm local.

Yeah, my whole life whenever I hear the time something's going to be on ("Friday at 8!") I'll just hear it in my head as "Oh yeah, 7." It only gets weird when the ads start giving the central time instead, since I'm so used to just hearing the eastern one and just subtracting an hour.
