Prime time here is very strange; in the Eastern and Pacific time zones, it runs from 8:00 - 11:00 p.m.; hence, The Tonight Show would come on after the local news at 11:00. In the Central and Mountain time zones, prime time runs from 7:00 - 10:00 p.m.<br /><br />Programming is broadcast simultaneously in the Eastern and Central time zones (with the exception of live programming), which accounts for the one-hour difference. It's delayed by an hour in the Mountain zone, and Pacific gets it on what amounts to a three-hour delay.<br /><br />I've long felt, and it's only partly because I've spent most of my life in the Central time zone, that it's the perfect zone. Ten p.m. seems like the proper time to wrap things up for the night!<br /><br />Mitchell Hadleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08695771505209080030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6042603612494762084.post-89349903320845476952021-01-29T06:39:51.261-05:002021-01-29T06:39:51.261-05:00What was the reasoning for The Tonight Show not st...What was the reasoning for The Tonight Show not starting until 11.30? In Australia we had our tonight shows usually start at 9.30 or 10.00. Isn't everyone in bed by 11.30 over there??

It has a different description than the 11:30 one.
