well...it's 8pm on the east coast, so maybe it's 7:00 on the west coast. I would go with your tv guide.

Well on my tv it says 8pm on CBS. I'm in NorCal.

Every where online says 8pm because it's live on EST. If your TV Guide and newspaper say 7pm, that's the airtime for the west coast. Set it for 7pm if you're worried. The worst that can happen is you tape an hour of news at the beginning or something.

"Program Title: Tony Awards
Genre: awards
Description: Hugh Jackman hosts the 58th annual ceremonies. Scheduled: selections from the nominated musicals (“Avenue Q,” “The Boy from Oz,” “Caroline, or Change,” “Wicked”)"

It said that last year too. Don't worry. We're seeing this year's ceremony on TV.

ChristiElphaJoSally - Where in NorCal do you live? I'm in the Davis/Sacramento area and for some reason CBS network programming starts an hour earlier here then when they're advertised (eg. a show that's advertised to start at 8pm, for some reason starts at 7pm in Davis) so if you're in the Davis/Sac area, it starts at 7pm.

Haha My TV guide says the Hugh Jackman 2003 Tonys too. But it says 8 PM as the time.

Due to the time change, the Tony's actually "start" at 5 on the west coast (8pm eastern)...but I'm from SoCal and the LA Times say that the delayed TV broadcast starts at 8, so that's what I'm going by.

Yes, if you're out West, unless you have the East Coast feed, the show airs at 8 PM PST.

We are in Daylight time, not Standard time. In NYC the Tonys start at 8PM EDT.

Yeah, I had a feeling you were. I had to get used how CBS is scheduled in Davis when I first moved there. I'm originally from SF, and there shows on CBS start when they're advertised.

You can catch the Creative Arts Tony Awards at 7:15 at tonyawards.com! But does anybody know when the red carpet coverage starts?

[Autumn2]

Posted: 6/10/07 at 5:59pm

I believe they start at 8 pm

I'm in the same area that you two are.

Okay, it's 8? Right?

If you're local CBS station is KOVR, which means you're in the Davis,CA or Sacramento,CA area, the Tony's start at 7pm for you because for some reason, they show everything an hour earlier then advertised.
