    I would love to see daylight savings time disapear too.

    It's nice living on the same side of the river as where I work now. It was a pain living in AZ and working in NV around this time of year.

    I hate that about DST! Its always screwed-up in Arizona because of that... and even in the summer sometimes there are mistakes on national networks. Also, that is why primetime in AZ is always from 7-10pm instad of 8-11 like the rest of the country.

    Oh, then maybe its just the coasts. Because in NYC, LA, Massachusetts (from my experience) it is 8-11.

    Will people who live in the Pacific and Eastern time zones clarify this?

    I've always seen primetime as 8-11 in Eastern and Pacific and 7-10 in Central. I'm not sure how Mountain does things....

    I prefer Central--I don't have to stay up as late to watch the news or finish the MNF game.

    The coasts run 8-11, the middle (central and mountain) run 7-10.



    I can vouch for mountain. :)

    That means primetime starts at 3 different times across the nation.

    With Eastern and Central running 8-11 and 7-10 respectively, their primetime is concurrent since 8-11 in Eastern is equivalent to 7-10 in Central.

    I guess that's why you always here "8/7central" or whatever... even in the mountain time zone.
