Did both of them have books out around this time?
 
The Spokane stations seemed to be operating on
the same times as Eastern Time. With other listings
including Spokane however, those same stations
seemed to operate one hour later. Confusing, huh?

Spokane is in the Pacific Time Zone, where prime time runs in pattern with Eastern Time, while daytime runs in pattern with Central Time. The Eastern Washington edition of TV Guide reflects the scheduling for that time zone.

However, the Spokane TV stations were (and to some extent, still are) viewed in Northwestern Montana, which is in the Mountain Time Zone. Listings of the Spokane TV stations in the Montana edition of TV Guide consequently showed the schedules of the Spokane stations pushed back an hour later because of the time difference -- with prime time programming that starts at 8 PM PT starting at 9 PM MT.

At least one of the Spokane stations (Q6, I think) used to give both time zones in their on air promos -- ie, "MASH, weeknights at 7 PM Pacific/8 PM Mountain".

The double-time-zone mentions were probably more for Alberta viewers, as many cable systems in the Mountain Time province carry Spokane stations.
