██ CST or UTC-6

The Central Time Zone observes standard time by subtracting six hours from UTC during standard time (UTC-6) and five hours during daylight saving time (UTC-5). The clock time in this zone is based on the mean solar time of the 90th degree meridian west of the Greenwich Observatory.

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.  Areas that observe daylight saving time  Areas that once observed daylight saving time  Areas that have never observed daylight saving time A 2001 public service announcement for the upcoming turning back of the clocks Daylight saving time (DST), also known as summer time in British English, is the convention of... -12 | -11 | -10 | -9:30 | -9 | -8 | -7 | -6 | -5 | -4 | -3:30 | -3 | -2:30 | -2 | -1 | -0:25 | UTC (0) | +0:20 | +0:30 | +1 | +2 | +3 | +3:30 | +4 | +4:30 | +4:51 | +5 | +5:30 | +5:40 | +5:45 | +6 | +6:30 | +7 | +7:20 | +7...

In some areas, starting in 2007, the local time changes from CST to CDT at 02:00 LST to 03:00 LDT on the second Sunday in March and returns at 02:00 LDT to 01:00 LDT on the first Sunday in November.


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, which accounts for lines such as "tonight at 8/7 Central" on many network promotional ads. As a result, 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 7am Central (except when breaking news happens or special occasions such as the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, which airs at 9am Eastern/8am Central, pushing back the morning shows to air live at 6am Central). This is particularly a problem in Saskatchewan as Central Standard Time is used year round, choosing not to change to Daylight Saving Time during the summer. While Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and Northwestern Ontario share the same clock setting during the winter season, Saskacthewan and Alberta share the same clock setting during the summer season. This despite the fact that Alberta is in the Mountain Time Zone. Schedules must be adjusted for the summer season. 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. ... The Midwest is a common name for a region of the United States of America. ... A compass rose with South highlighted South is most commonly a noun, adjective, or adverb indicating direction or geography. ... In radio and television, tape delay refers to the practice of intentionally delaying broadcast of live material. ... Macys Day Parade redirects here. ...


Also, an hour of syndicated programming time (between 7pm-8pm in the Eastern Time Zone) is lost since network prime time starts at 7pm Central, forcing TV stations to choose from airing their 6pm 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 5pm 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 5pm, national news at 5:30pm, local news at 6pm, and syndicated programming at 6:30pm. Some stations even show a newscast from 6 to 7pm. 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. ... Prime time is the block of programming on television during the middle of the evening. ... This article discusses the current version of the U.S. game show. ... Jeopardy! is a popular international television quiz game show, originally devised by Merv Griffin, who also created Wheel of Fortune. ...

Similarly, media coverage of New Year's Eve celebrations in New York City often leave the Central Time Zone out. Late Night with Conan O'Brien, though produced in New York, when broadcast on New Year's Eve (as it does not air on weekends) takes advantage of its later time slot (11:35pm Central) to lampoon this inconsistency and produce its own New Year's countdown for television viewers in the Central Time Zone.

Late Night with Conan OBrien is an American late night talk show on NBC, that is also syndicated world-wide. ... This article is about January 1 in the Gregorian calendar. ...


Canadian broadcasting networks, with six time zones to span and a larger percentage of its audience residing in the Mountain Time Zone than in the Central Time Zone, 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.

Time zones are generally centered on meridians of a longitude, that is a multiple of 15°, thus making neighboring time zones one hour apart.
Time zones were first proposed for the entire world by Canada's Sir Sandford Fleming in 1876 as an appendage to the single 24-hour clock he proposed for the entire world (located at the center of the Earth and not linked to any surface meridian!).
Nepal's time zone of UTC + 5:45 was adopted in 1986 [4].
