Today's Special Value

Curious why TSV are not available to West Coast shoppers until midnight our time? 

[Desertdi]

Probably because they start at 9:00 pm our time

[Meowingkitty]

They're only available for 24 hours. Ours start a 9:00 pm so that makes them last until 9:00 pm the next day. If you were in Hawaii they would start around 6 pm since Hawaii is 6 hours behind the east coast and end at 6 pm.

They're 24 hours no matter what time zone you're in. Ending before midnight for you, they've also started before midnight for you too

You get the privilege of getting first dibs at 9 pm.  This is live TV not network TV which chooses East, West, Central, or Mountain time zones.

@brandiwine   When it is midnight in Philadelphia...it is 9pm on the West Coast.    So the "real" start time is the SAME.

@brandiwine no one gets first dibs on the TSV. We all get to see it the same time in our respective time zones. When PST watches it at 9PM, I am watching the SAME show at midnight EST.

I would love to be able to see the TSV at 9pm instead of midnight.

@Layla V.  You ought to be able to figure that out.  It's a live broadcast.  How do you think they'd manipulate  the time zones?  The TSV may end early for you but you have the advantage of it starting early.

[Layla V]

@Kachina624  No one said anything about manipulating time zones, what an odd comment.

I ask because every other shopping network, including HSN, honors daily special value pricing until midnight PT - which makes it available until 3am your time.

So by your logic, you have the advantage of it ending late.
