Talk:Celebrity Big Brother: After Dark

Air dates
pinging you for your input, this usually isn't a problem for most TV shows but because this airs so late and simultaneously across different time zones when the episode starts it's one day in one location but a different day in another time zone. Start times for the show are the following per TV Guide, 12 AM EST and 11 PM CST, 10 PM MST. It also airs on tape delay in the West so times start over becoming 12 AM PST, 11 PM AST, and 10 PM HST. So the episode began airing on January 25 in NYC and California but January 24th for Chicago, Arizona, Alaska, Hawaii, etc. (which is the majority of the U.S.). Just curious which date we should go with, rather the 24th because of majority or the 25th because that's where Big Brother is filmed? (I think both provide equal weight because someone could be watching something created on the 25th on the 24th) Just wanted to get another editor's opinion.

 * That's because Pop TV has two feeds the east coast feed and west coast feed. Cable providers like Xfinity, Spectrum, etc. carry the west coast feeds so BBAD will be on at 12-3 AM PST showing what happened 3 hours earlier. Outside of cable providers services like OTT streaming, satellite (DirecTV/Dish) and IPTV (AT&T U-Verse) carry the east coast feed on the west coast which allows those viewers to watch it live at 9 PM PST. The same thing happens for Alaska and Hawaii as well. I tested this theory out by using 90001 zip code for LA for AT&T U-Verse subs it shows BBAD on at 9pm-12am PST then when I switched to Spectrum it shows BBAD on at 12-3AM PST. That's why your seeing BBAD airing simultaneously across different time zones. Officially CBS wants it to air at 12-3AM ET/PT (11pm-2am CT/MT) so the east coast dates should be used because "technically" BBAD airs at 12am on the actual west coast feed.
