TCM Scheduling Mixup

I was watching TCM tonight because they were doing a group of shows on rare animation starting in the silent era to the 60's. They started with a show on the animation of Winsor McCay at 7 PM CT and then the 100th anniversary of Bray Studios at 8:45 CT. At 10 PM CT the next segment was supposed to be on Van Beuren Studios, but instead they repeated the Winsor McCay segment and stayed with that until 11:15 CT when they interrupted the repeat of the McCay segment and went back to the announced schedule to The Adventures of Prince Achmed.

I know this was probably a mixup at TCM's studios and I take it that this happened everywhere with TCM's East Coast feed, but did this happen on the West Coast feed as well?
 
I have never seen a TCM west coast feed. Neither on Cable, Dish, or AT&T U-Verse (Have had all three over the years) The "Theme" nights start at 5pm out here, so I saw what you did out here in Cali. Perhaps they will try again with the Van Buren segment at a later date.
 
TCM has East and West coast feeds for their Watch TCM app and website, so I assumed they have a West Coast feed at least for some services, perhaps at least for Alaska and Hawaii? But Tommy José Stathes, the guest commentator for the Bray Studios segment, posted in the TCM discussion that it was a technical error, and the Van Bueren Studios segment was rescheduled for Dec. 7th. I just hope I can remember that because I almost forgot that the rare cartoons theme was scheduled for last night! :rolleyes:
 
From TCM's Facebook page:

"Fans, last night we hit a mix up with our programming schedule, and we apologize for this. We've rescheduled Guest Programmer Steve Stanchfield's exploration of the Van Beuren Studios animated shorts for Sunday, December 7. If you've downloaded Watch TCM, you can also look for the Van Beuren shorts there this week.

Thanks for your understanding & patience with us!"
