In the U.S., televion programs are frequently aired an hour early in the Central time zone, presumably so that they may be simulcast to the east coast and the midwest. I assumed that this practice extended: when a commercial announced a show airing at "8, 7 Central", I assumed that we on the west coast would get it at 5 o'clock.
