Odd that ABC and CBS follow Eastern time on Saturday morning,
yet NBC follows Central. Any explanation?

I don't know why the difference -- but I do know that even into the seventies, discrepancies like this existed in the Pacific time zone. CBS continued to feed it's Saturday morning schedule on the Eastern schedule at least until sometime in the eighties, while both NBC and ABC were on the one hour earlier Central time pattern by the early seventies.

From what you're writing, it sounds like NBC had always been on the Central pattern, but ABC obviously switched sometime between the mid-sixties and early seventies. But I don't know exactly when they switched.
