This is not only going to affect football fans but anybody annoyed by delays to the start of evening programs in the fall:
http://www.nj.com/jets/index.ssf/2012/06/nfl_moves_back_start_time_for.html The NFL has moved back the starting time for afternoon games that are part of a FOX or CBS doubleheader. Previously, the games began at 4:15 p.m., now they will start at 4:25 p.m so that there is less overlap between the beginning of those games and the end of the 1 p.m. games. Afternoon games that are not a part of televised doubleheader will still kickoff at 4:05 p.m. The goal is to allow viewers to see the end of the earlier game and not be whisked away to the start of the home-market late game that networks must switch to. A study done by the NFL saw that 44 games over the last three seasons were affected. With a 4:25 p.m. start time, only 15 games would have been switched over. Their estimation was that 40 games would be impacted during the upcoming 2012 season, half coming in the Mountain or Pacific time zones. -- TV or Not TV .... The Smartest (TV) People!
