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><div><b>Re: Local stations and schedules out of pattern:</b></div><div><br></div><blockquote class="webkit-indent-blockquote" style="margin: 0 0 0 40px; border: none; padding: 0px;"><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><div><br></div></blockquote>Now how many of us would like to watch the Eastern TZ feeds beginning with dinner?
