Working with the East Coast from California
The East Coast day ends early from a West Coast point of view. When it’s 2 pm in Los Angeles, offices in New York are closing at 5 pm, so anything that needs an answer the same day is best sent before lunch Pacific time.
Live TV and streams announced for 8 pm Eastern start at 5 pm Pacific unless the network shows them again later for the West Coast. Check the listing for a separate Pacific time before planning around it.
