And there's ego. In 2015, DPRK set its clocks back 30 minutes, just to be unique. Then reverted (witn inadequate advance notice) a few years after, for commercial reasons. And a few years earlier, Republic of Samoa advanced its clocks 24(!) hours for commercial reasons. >But essentially, the U.S. Eastern, Central, and Mountain times are one >time zone as far as TVs are concerned. > Sort of. But not for live sports events. The Today Show is delayed hour-by-hour to start at 0700 in every time zone. (Don't know about Arizona.) They display local time in a chyron. Prime time shows are announced as beginning at (e.g.) 8PM Eastern, 7PM Central. But they're delayed one hour (not two!) so they begin at 7PM Mountain. Don't know about Pacific.
