Re: Slightly off the subject...

[Larry Mayer <LMAYER...>]

Marketplace ALWAYS airs on the same day as it is fed.  These shows
are dated and cannot be aired any other day.  The host always says 
what day it is.  I know that station can air them at any given time
of day, but note that the first feed comes over at 5pm eastern time,
the second feed at 6pm eastern and the last feed at 6:30pm eastern 
time.  Most stations take the 6:30pm eastern time.  Locally, there
is one station that airs the 5pm feed, which is 2pm here at KCRW in
Santa Monica.  The majority of stations would have aired this program
very close to shabbes and would mostly listeners have missed this 
feature.
