Most Network Stations dont  really care about the West Coast so they air
east coast live shows whenever they can schedule it  in. West coast citizens
are considered second class citizens anyway to the networks. They just feel
that they wont be around much longer anyway do to earth quake faults etc,
and know they  will eventually drift  off to sea, so they feel why worry
about them, when they can focus on those who really matter on  the east
coast where real decisions are made.
