The Time Zone Penalty

This is not a complaint, just an observation. America is Eastern Time-centric! Until now I was one of the 140,000,000+ million living the good time life. No more.

Cable news live programming stops three hours earlier here. It seems awfully early to ‘close down the store.’

When an event is promoed, like an upcoming press conference, we have to do the math. Wolf only gives one time. It happens more often than you’d think.

Most ‘scheduled’ television networks have West Coast feeds. Clockwise we see episodic shows when you do. I real time you’re three hours ahead. We see your spoilers on Twitter and Facebook long before shows air.

Don’t do that.

As a sports fan it’s interesting watching daytime baseball games before noon. We’re looking forward to the NFL Sunday mornings at 10:00, with the late games over around 4:00 PM.

More than once I’ve gone to call friends and realized it’s late back East. Apologies in advance for those I’ll surely wake.
