Evening Newses - Mountain Zone

O

oldiesfan6479

Tonight (Monday 01/10), NBC did a live Nightly News 'cast for the Mountain Time Zone
at 5:30 PM MT. Brian Williams--in Tucson--announced it at the top of the show, while
also giving a special greeting to the NBC affiliates in Arizona. Phoenix and Tucson affils
aired the live 'cast, I wonder if Yuma got the memo about it? ;)

The other two nets also anchored live from Tucson at 6:30 PM ET, but AFAIK, did no
special feed for MT tonight. The ABC 'cast I saw at 5:30 MT was an hour old as it had
some "Live ET" fonts scattered about, and outside live shots had more light evident than
on NBC. Delayed 'cast also on CBS (airs in Phoenix at 6 PM MT), with a "Live EST" font
over Katie's opening greeting.
 
I recall that NBC is the only broadcast network that regularly has a MT feed (although I know from my horrific years in Phoenix that KPNX used the East Coast feeds to regularly insert local ads - and start primetime @659PM, like KPHO does). While it was a nice touch, it's not like any real developments happened in that 1-2 hours between the 630PM ET broadcast and the airtimes in AZ, nearly 60 hours after the attack.
 
BTW, NBC Nightly News also did a live 'cast (with Brian Williams in Tucson) for the
Mountain Time Zone at 5:30 PM MT on Tuesday and Wednesday as well.
