TV Guide,, Central Indiana edition--cover missing
NOTE: While most of the United States observed Daylight Saving Time, until 2006, central Indiana counties in the Eastern Time Zone did not; thus, the listings here should be regarded as, in effect, Central DST. Stations and newspapers (but not TV Guide) referred to this as "slow" time, while the Standard Time months were designated "fast" time. For more on Indiana's peculiar history in observing DST, read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_in_Indiana.
