Ok Sunshine. It sort of works differently for every channel. A show on a broadcast channel (CBS, FOX, NBC, ABC, CW, and MyNetworkTV) that airs at 8/7c airs in Eastern and Central time zone first. The mountain time zone then watches it one hour later. Then it is another hour until the Pacific time zone gets to see it. Hawaii and Alaska then gets it an hour later. Just to make sure everything makes sense.

A show at 8/7central
Eastern time and Central time watch at that time.
At 9pm Eastern: Mountain time zone gets to watch it.
At 11pm Eastern: Pacific time zone gets to watch it.
At Midnight Eastern: Alaska and Hawaii get to watch it.

For cable ShoToo for Afterdark the Eastern time zone and Central time zone watch it first. Then two/3 hours later depending on channel Mountain, Pacific, Alaska, and Hawaii get it.

Online airs live across all timezones.

Hope that makes sense.
