<font face="Tahoma">You can add my name to the list of those who'd
prefer to watch an earlier feed. I'm sure most local stations
would much prefer to sell that hour, though; rather than lose it.<br>
<br>
In the mid-60s, as a member of the DC crew for CBS Evening News at
WTOP-TV, just as Cronkite took the program to a half hour...the
entire crew in New York and DC waited until nearly 7:00 (I think)
to learn if any key stories had changed enough to justify a second
feed. We'd also do it again if someone had made a serious
mistake.<br>

<div>Hi, Park,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>While writing the post, I had some questions regarding what
happened to the one-hour delay for Central time zone.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>What I related is what I found in the 1959 document
"Automatic Control of Video Tape Equipment at NBC Burbank," by
NBC's Robert Byloff. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Perhaps there are QuadList members who can shed light on the
subject?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>There may have been some economic or practical logistics
involved. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Perhaps program protection was necessary? Did the net find
that it needed to roll two machines in record and then in play
so there was a main and backup rolling simultaneously? The dozen
machines available in the document didn't allow for that.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Or it may have been simply the idea of disrupting an existing
8/7 Central time viewing habit.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>If the other two networks didn't go for it, NBC would have
had a very interesting time trying to adjust program schedules
to maximize viewers in the Central Time zone, and when
interpreting ratings against the other networks and stations
when selling time.</div>
<div><br>

<div>KOVR, the Stockton/Sacramento CBS owned station runs prime
time an hour early, and has done so since before CBS bought
the station from Sinclair.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>At one time, KOVR (then under other owners) and NBC
affiliate KCRA-TV, Sacramento ran the network prime time an
hour early. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>In San Francisco, then Westinghouse-owned CBS affiliate
KPIX ran prime an hour early. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Both KCRA-TV and KPIX reverted to standard 8 p.m. weekday
pattern. KOVR enjoys better late news ratings, competing
against the Tribune owned Fox and Hearst-owned MyTV 10pm news
offerings. My58 is the sister to long-time market news leader
KCRA, both now owned by Hearst.</div>

Now how many of us would like to watch the Eastern TZ feeds
beginning with dinner? You could be in bed even earlier!
