Central Daylight Time Daylight Saving Time is in effect in much of the time zone between early April and late October. The modified time is called Central Daylight Time (CDT) and is UTC-5. Saskatchewan, Central America and Galápagos do not observe the change, remaining on Standard Time year round. One reason that Saskatchewan does not take part in the time change is that geographically, most of the province should be placed in the Mountain Time Zone. To avoid this, they have moved onto "permanent" Daylight Saving by being part of the Central Time Zone. The only exception is the region immediately surrounding the Saskatchewan side of the biprovincial city of Lloydminster, which has chosen to use Mountain Time with DST, synchronizing its clocks with those of Alberta.

Broadcasting concerns
Due to the structure of broadcasting networks in the United States (mostly television, but to a lesser extent radio as well), programming is aired simultaneously in the Eastern and Central Time zones, thus the famous line "tonight at 8, 7 Central" on many network promotional ads. This arrangement is mostly acceptable, though morning programming lineups designed for East Coast viewers may start too early for viewers in the Midwest and the central South; hence, they are tape-delayed to air at 7 a.m. Central (except when breaking news happens or special occasions such as the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, which airs at 9 a.m. Eastern/8 a.m. Central, pushing back the morning shows to air live at 6 a.m. Central). EST is UTC-5 The North American Eastern Standard Time Zone (abbreviated EST) is a geographic region that keeps time by subtracting five hours from Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) resulting in UTC-5. ...

In radio and television, tape delay refers to the practice of intentionally delaying broadcast of live material. ...
The Macys Thanksgiving Day Parade, originally called the Macys Christmas Parade, is an annual parade sponsored by Macys Department Store. ...
Also, an hour of syndicated programming time (between 7 p.m.-8 p.m. in the Eastern Time Zone) is lost since network prime time starts at 7 p.m. Central, forcing TV stations to choose from airing their 6 p.m. newscast and a program, or airing shows in 'blocks' preferred by syndicators (i.e. Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy! together, or Entertainment Tonight and The Insider). Many stations in the Central Time Zone tend to air one part of the syndicated block at 5 p.m. or even earlier. The most common set of programming chosen by the big three television networks (ABC, CBS, and NBC) is to air a newscast at 5 p.m., national news at 5:30 p.m., local news at 6 p.m., and syndicated programming at 6:30 p.m. Some stations even show a newscast from 6 to 7 p.m. In the television industry (as in radio), syndication is the sale of the right to broadcast programs to multiple stations, without going through a broadcast network. ...

Similarly, media coverage of New Year's Eve celebrations in New York City often leave the Central Time Zone in a lurch. Late Night with Conan O'Brien, though produced in New York, annually takes advantage of its later time slot (11:35 p.m. Central) to lampoon this inconsistency and produce its own New Year's countdown for television viewers in the Central Time Zone. New Years Eve is a celebration held the day before New Years Day, on December 31, the final day of the Gregorian year. ...

Canadian broadcasting networks, with six time zones to span, sometimes are able to avoid these issues by airing prerecorded programs on local time, although adjustments are sometimes still made (mainly due to the influence of U.S. television). The problem is largely moot in Mexico and other parts of Latin America because of the lack of significant other time zones.
