TAR 23 Scheduling-Airing Times-Delays
theschnauzers:
Remember when the US is off daylight savings time, the UTC for the US Eastern Time zone is -5.
The NFL just ended (almost the entire US had the same late NFL doubleheader game), and 60 Minutes started on the east coast feed at 6:51 pm Eastern Time, so add one hour for TAR start on the east coast feed.
TexasLady:
Thanks TS!
DrRox:
CBS has one late game today.......Tennessee at Denver. It starts at 4:05pm eastern. At normally 3 hours a game, time will be tight for 60 Minutes to start in the viewing area. Good news is that Denver should win easily. The viewing area includes the following..........
Both Dakotas, western Nebraska, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Detroit/eastern Michigan, Houston, Philly, Baltimore and all of Tennessee. Also Atlanta, Birmingham, Huntsville, northern Mississippi, small portion of eastern Ark (Memphis area) and southern Kentucky.
I sure hope that Manning makes quick work of the Titans so everyone can watch TAR at the same time.
Mister RC:
I was thinking about Denver and how it was West Coast only that would be affected. Forgot about Tennessee completely, so that has to suck. But hopefully they'll be able to make the game end before 7. Next year, I think CBS will get the double-header on 12/07/14 so that'll delay everyone, but what makes the double-header a plus is that no one is ahead of the other (in the US, at least).

Why do you think that? They do not alternate, btw. CBS and FOX work out between them who has double header every week. They do it so it equals out by the end of the season. FOX likes to have single games early in the football season, because they have MLBaseball playoffs. CBS likes double headers early and late in season, so it doesn't mess up too much with their prime time schedule.
But I will concede that guessing a year in advance only gets you a 50/50 chance at being right.
Mountain and Pacific are never affected by football run overs, only eastern and central time zones. So it is pointless to even name cities in Mountain or Pacific that have the late game. I only point out the cities in central and eastern when I post cities likely to be delayed.
Late games televised in Mountain Time zone start at either 2:05 or 2:25......so they are over before 60 Minutes start. Pacific Time zone late games start at 1:05 or 1:25 and are not even close to delaying 60 Minutes.
During TARs 12 week run, it is usually FOX with 7 double headers and CBS with 5.
