I will ask my former boss about that today. When I was at NBC, the CST took the EST feed live. The MST was delayed by KOA in Denver as a regional delay center IIRC. Burbank did the PST and sent 2" or 1" to Hawaii by plane for a one week/two week delay. The Hawaii-then-to-Alaska bicycle of tapes ended when a C band feed from NY went up around 1983 or so, then Hawaii and Alaska did their own zone delay. <div><br></div><div>Arizona not being on DST caused those stations to do their own delay. I asked my friend in Tucson why they did not just take the PAC feed instead of the rigors of delaying on their own. The answer was that commercial integration was different. His CBS station used a group of MII decks, then they were an early adopter of an HP hard drive system. </div><div><br></div><div>When the Ku system was installed by NBC, all time zone delay was eventually shifted back to New York. <br><div><br></div><div><div>

Johnny Carson was a staple in our household. Later working for a CBS affiliate
in Lincoln, NE, we always had the same feed as Eastern time zone. But I
will say the Midwest is a great place to grow up. <o:p></o:p></font></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; "><o:p><font class="Apple-style-span" size="1" color="#232323"> </font></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; "><font class="Apple-style-span" size="1" color="#232323">In a later life (Time Logic), we built time zone delay
controllers used for several networks (in the 80s). Mountain was often
unusual partially because Arizona doesn’t like Daylight time, so, NBC
bought our controllers and gave them to the Arizona affiliates for them to do
as they wish. <o:p></o:p></font></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; "><o:p><font class="Apple-style-span" size="1" color="#232323"> </font></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; "><font class="Apple-style-span" size="1" color="#232323">The more interesting controller we did was for PBS (80s as well)
which we installed in Virginia. This controller input Eastern feed, and
output Central, Mountain, Pacific and Hawaii in one box using multiple
VTRs. Quite fun to put together. What really made it interesting is
many affiliates simply recorded their feed locally, only to be rebroadcast at
their own schedule. Today, each affiliate has their own recording
capability and they simply schedule when they want to play the shows. <o:p></o:p></font></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; "><o:p><font class="Apple-style-span" size="1" color="#232323"> </font></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; "><font class="Apple-style-span" size="1" color="#232323">Gary<o:p></o:p></font></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; "><o:p><font class="Apple-style-span" size="1" color="#232323"> </font></o:p></span></p>
