So when they drop the ball in NYC, obviously they do it at midnight Eastern time.

So when we watch that on TV here in the midwest, it's actually 1 AM in NYC.

Either they drop the ball several times, or everybody west of Eastern Time is watching reruns.

Just seems odd that we huddle about the TV for a few seconds to watch what others sw an hour ago.
