Talk:Timeshift channel

United Kingdom Section

The text says: "The most notable of these was FX, though the timeshifted channel was presented as simply FX +, rather than FX +2. The channel later changed to a one-hour timeshift and was later renamed FX +, but was renamed to Fox + on 11 January 2013." I am unsure of how if FX's timeshift channel was presented as FX +, how it could then be renamed as FX +. Surely this was already the name? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.105.187.71 (talk) 15:43, 23 July 2016 (UTC)

American timeshift channels

The text says "The start of US evening prime time programmes are typically announced in the form of "8, 7 Central", often written as "8/7c"" but what does this mean? Earlier in the same paragraph it says that American timeshift channels often have a difference of 3 hours yet 8/7 is only a difference of one hour?? Does the "8" represent the east coast time? Why don't they say "8/7/6/5 West", for example? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Xania (talk • contribs) 01:16, 16 January 2010 (UTC)

What it means is it's shown at 8 in all time zones except central where it's shown at 7. This is because things are usually shown simultaneously in the central and eastern timezones (where the time difference is one hour) but time-shifted elsewhere (to match the local time).

Non-timezone time-shifting in the US

From the introduction:

the term "timeshift" does not refer to a network broadcasting at a later time to reflect a local timezone unless the parent is also available.

That seems to indicate that most of what's talked about under US is not time-shifting at all (or is only incidentally so for people who are able to receive broadcasts from multiple timezones, which is often not the case). I was hoping to find out whether there is any real time-shifting going on in the US because I haven't really come across it to date. StarkRG (talk) 03:58, 8 April 2010 (UTC)
