So I was thinking...?

Question

You know how on the East Coast, movies generally start at 8 or 9 pm? And shows start around that time, that haven't been aired yet. So if, for example, American Idol airs for the first time at 8 pm, does it show on the West Coast at 5 pm? If it was showed any later, the results would already be revealed... I was just wondering how that all works.

Answer 1

Time delayed shows.

Answer 2

The show airs on the east coast live and the west coast it airs at 8
