What time does 6/5 central mean?

Question

What does it mean when the TV says "6/5 Central"? I’m not sure what this refers to—what exact time is it? Can someone explain?

It means 6 o&rsquo;clock in the USA eastern seaboard timezone (boston/new york/washington/florida), and 5 o&rsquo;clock (one hour earlier) in the central timezone.That&rsquo;s because as you move east to west, the timezones get earlier. The USA has 4 main time zones; from east to west it&rsquo;s eastern, central, mountain, and pacific. Each is one hour earlier than the previous one.So when it&rsquo;s 6 o&rsquo;clock in the eastern time zone, it&rsquo;s5 o&rsquo;clock (1 hour earlier) in the central time zone, and4 o&rsquo;clock (2 hours earlier) in the mountain time zone, and3 o&rsquo;clock (3 hours earlier) in the pacific time zoneHere&rsquo;s a map of the USA time zones:http://www.happyzebra.com/timezones-worldclock/cur&hellip;

6 Central Time

Anonymous · Answer

It means the show will play at 6:00 Eastern time, and 5:00 Central time and that doesn’t mean it plays an hour later in eastern because eastern is one hour after central so 6 in east will be 5 in central but both are the same time.
This is all because of the movement of the sun. Since the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, the time in the west is always earlier than the time in the east.
For example: If you live in New York, 6/5 central means the show will start at 6:00 PM.
                    If you live in Missouri, 6/5 central means the show will start at 5:00 PM.

For some reason they never mention pacific and mountain times so the people living there will have to calculate it.
