I didn't know what so say, but I figured >they did not watch Dan Rather at 3:30 in the afternoon. I'll answer the (off topic) presumably troll.. Yes, I'm falling for it. The national news is usually just re-ran 3 hours later for the West Coast, but at least for the NBC news (which I record every day), they sometimes do a "West Coast Edition", or even sometimes just one report (hastily cut into the existing episode). >Are most nightly newscasts on the west coast broadcast at >11:00 pm or 10:00 pm or earlier .... like 7 pm? When are >most of the late news programs aired? The original question seemed almost reasonable.. This is the most troll- seeming part. But I thought others might actually be interested in the bit about the national news. (and I would have answered it in email if he had posted from a real address) -- mattack@vax.hanford.org
