When I went to Hillsdale, one of the popular radio stations was WOWO out of Fort Wayne, Indiana. Indiana doesn’t do DST, so you’d get time checks that sound like this:
“It’s 7 o’clock. It’s 8 o’clock in Ohio and Michigan.”
Michigan is towards the Western end of the Eastern time zone, so this might make sense.
got to tell you i always thought DSL was dumb but now that my daughter is in middle school and catches the bus at 7:15AM EST i have a change of heart..
