Proves that even then, there was competitive counterscheduling going on in television.

The key here is the designation "EST."

By 1957, daylight-saving time in many places--
including New York--ran until the last Sunday
of October which would have been the 27th.

Georgia OTOH stayed on EST year-round, hence
programs airing an hour earlier than EDT.

Previous postings by bpatrick and others seemed
to indicate that the spring/summer of 1958 was
the first time when the networks were VTR-capable
enough to provide a delayed feed one hour later to
the EST and CST areas so (most) shows could air
at the same "clock time" winter and summer.

Now...just don't get me started on this upcoming DST
extension and what it will do to the communications and
transportation industries when dealing in cross-border
and international commerce.<P ID="edit"><FONT class="small">Edited by oldiesfan on 07/30/05 04:37 AM.</FONT></P>

Speaking as a moderator who has had to stop threads from deteriorating into political discussions on too many occasions, I wish you hadn't brought this up at all.

If you don't want to get started, then don't post the starting point in the first place ...

Re: "Don't get me started?"

Well, you did get me started into editing
the particular comment which may have had
the political slant...

As one of the few who saw it pre-edit, I commend you on your revised choice of words.
