What's with the CBS Evening News "one day delay" bit?

Apparently the CBS/ABC affiliate didn't have satellite capability, so a tape of the evening news was flown in from the west coast. I've seen some of John's schedules where they aired the network news at midnight, in this case, they opted to run it the following day.

It must have been odd to literally be watching "yesterday's news", though.
