Ah, yes, the joys of life on the Canadian Atlantic Coast. Not the least of which is having to stay up until Midnight to see the national news.

 

[McCorryKL]

Station after CHSJ (CBAT) should be CBAFT Channel 11 Moncton (SRC) instead of CJBR. Oh, the perils of cut and paste. 8)

 

[mjlarochelle]

Interesting there's only one set of listings for the ATV stations. I believe CJCB, CJCH, and CKCW each had their own morning magazine show at that time, each with a unique title. Perhaps that was gone by this point.

OK this is a strange question but about Atlantic Time, how far away into the Atlantic Ocean off the east coast one must be to leave EST in order to enter Atlantic Time? I know Bermuda is on Atlantic Time.

Also on a similar note I wonder how far the stations along the east coast can be picked up in the ocean? My grandfather many years ago had told me once about the time he was about 75 miles off the coast of Atlantic City, New Jersey and on the boat there was a small B/W battery operated TV and the only stations he was able to watch were out of Hampton Roads, VA and the Maryland Eastern Shore's WBOC-TV but nothing from New Jersey, NYC or New England. Possible?

OK this is a strange question but about Atlantic Time, how far away into the Atlantic Ocean off the east coast one must be to leave EST in order to enter Atlantic Time? I know Bermuda is on Atlantic Time.

Technically, AST runs from 67'30" W. to 52'30" W. Like all time zones, the legislated boundaries can fall outside these parameters where land masses are involved, but offshore, for example, you'd have to sail approximately this far due east from these points to hit the westernmost longitudinal boundary of AST:

Provincetown MA -- 135 miles (215 km)
Montauk NY -- 230 miles (145 km)
Cape Hatteras NC -- 450 miles (720 km)
Jacksonville Beach FL -- 830 miles (1330 km)

A greater curiosity to me is why Newfoundland has stubbornly held on to their unusual half-hour split time zone (UTC -3 1/2) instead of just using Atlantic Time. I know part of the reason is history and politics (Newfoundland being a separate dominion until 1949, and to this day still maintaining a somewhat more distant psychological identity from Canada than the other provinces), and part geographical (their being situated in the easternmost portion of AST would make for some pretty early sunrise/sunset times in wintertime if they adopted that time standard), but in a world where we are accustomed, by and large, to even 1-hour differences in time zones, it must still make for some annoyance and confusion for business types and shipping interests, especially in this age of the global economy.

I think so.

The Quebec/New Brunswick border and Maine/New Brunswick border is where Atlantic Time begins. New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and P.E.I. are all in Atlantic Time. The Gaspe area of Quebec to the north of N.B. is in Eastern Time.

There was a women's show at 2:30 with each station originating their own local show until the fall of 1976, when ATV decided to alternate the 3 shows region-wide in the timeslot.
