Out by a few hours
Being based on midnight UTC rather than 2 am EST the template is out by 7 hours. We've got until March to either fix it or replace it. I suggest we replace it. Here are the three articles which use it. Note that if we fix it, it'll still be no good for the third article since that's the wrong time zone. J IM ptalk·cont 05:05, 24 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Eastern Time Zone (North America)
 * Eastern Standard Time
 * Central Time Zone (North America)

I've replaced it with zone-based code in each of these articles. Admittedly the code is quite hiddious-looking but I'm thinking of moving the lot off to an infobox. J IM ptalk·cont 08:51, 24 May 2012 (UTC)

The infobox is up & running & in use on Eastern Time Zone (North America) and Central Time Zone (North America). J IM ptalk·cont 11:16, 24 May 2012 (UTC)
