Subject: Static GK (General Knowledge)

Book: General Time Knowledge

Television and radio broadcasting schedules in North America are heavily influenced by time zones. Many national TV shows, sports events, and live news bulletins base their schedules around Eastern Time and then adjust for Central Time. This one-hour lag allows for strategic programming decisions that can maximize audience reach. Knowing Central Time is vital for advertisers, marketers, and viewers who want to tune in live or track ratings. People search for this topic when they miss or plan to watch popular shows and wonder exactly how broadcasts align with their local time in the central region.
