[Swprograms] Time Change Silly Season

[John Figliozzi <jfiglio1@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

It happens every year and the fact that the world doesn't have a standard date for local seasonal time changes drives us all a little crazy.  This notice is posted on the ABC Radio Australia website:

"Schedule changes due to Daylight Saving
As Daylight Saving time commences in Australia on Sunday 5 October, you will notice some changes to our radio schedule. Our flagship Pacific affairs program, Pacific Beat, will remain in its regular morning and afternoon time slots. But you will hear some of your favourite programs an hour earlier than you are used to."

(Actually, this already happened in New Zealand last weekend.)

This temporarily puts Australian Eastern Time (where RA is located) 11 hours ahead of GMT/UTC, 15 hours ahead of New York time, 16 hours ahead of Chicago, 17 hours ahead of Denver and 18 hours ahead of Los Angeles.  New Zealand presently is 13 hours ahead of GMT, 17 ahead of New York, 18 ahead of Chicago, 19 ahead of Denver and 20 ahead of Los Angeles.  Another hour will be added to these gaps when most of North America reverts to standard time on November 2.  

Confused yet?
