Time zones...it's always been that way with big bucks and TV. The Oscars show starts at 6pm from California which isn't glamorous, but it's already 9pm in New York.
In the radio era, shows were broadcast from NYC and most times, the performers would do it live at 8pm or 9pm and then go out to dinner and come back in three hours to do it live again, for the West Coast. But all they were doing was reading from a script they didn't even memorize.
I do feel bad when a Brit has to stay up and it's 3am or something, to see a fight thanks to screwy time zones. It's rarely the reverse. We can watch a late evening British match at a normal time. (A big problem in England though, is lousy bus and trains, so if I fight card drags, people have to leave to get that final bus or train before there ain't none).
A lot of times I don't bother watching live, and just get it off the Internet one way or another, a day later, and watch it when I feel like watching it.
