Stupid time zone question here.

[chicagojoe]

My TV has Fox on (not Fox news), and they are "live" in NYC.
I live in Chicago. Why isn't it past midnight in NYC?
It's 11:40 here.

1. It IS past midnight in NYC it's 12:40am.

3. That's what I thought. New Year Re-Runs on Fox. How lame !!!

2. Tape delayed

and replayed for central time. They'll do the same thing for Mountain and Pacific, and it will still say "live"

4. You must be young

You're just in a different time zone than New York. I've always lived in EST, and I used to wonder what the other zones thought of the annual New York thing. Don't you have your own Chicago thing on TV?

5. The center of the universe is in NYC...

they will show some lame ass stuff happening around here, but other than that, what happens in NYC is considered national.

7. Hello.Excuse me.

Apparently, the "Centre of the Universe" has just been transplanted to an area encompassing South East Asia, much to the shegrin of useless, poncey New Yorkers who would actually THINK the world at large even gives a fuck, or breaths life into, to such passe sentiment.

9. No, I'm actually old-ish, Butterflies. Just stoned. Happy New Year !
