Poll question: Did you know...

there are different time zones in the United States and this means that TV shows are on at different times? For example, if West Wing is on at 7:00 CDT in Iowa, it is another 3 hours before people in Los Angeles see it, at 8:00 PST.

1. Did you know...

...that Russia spans 11 time zones?

So, if someone in Vladivostok spoiled a TV show, someone in St. Petersburg would have almost a half-day to roil up some anger. :D

are a lot like Iowans...those people from St. Petersburg better watch out. ;)

2. There are four time zones.

But I figure you mean in regards to when a show is airing, as central and eastern view at the same time.

of West Wing. There's only 2 hours between Pacific and Central, but West Wing is on at 7 in Iowa and 8 in LA...hence, 3 hours.

4. the time difference is 2 hours,

but it's shown at 7:00 in Iowa and 8:00 in LA...hence, 3 hours.
