Mountain time zone is irrelevant

The Eastern time zone, where VT, UVA, UNC, NCSU are located, accounts for almost 49% of the population of the US. The Central time zone is next with 29% of the population of the US. Next is the Pacific time zone with about 17%, followed by the Mountain time zone, where Arizona and ASU are located, with 6.5%. By the time that the Mountain time zone starts playing games, close to 1/3 to 1/2 of the tv households in the US are going to bed.
