Current example:

On the Showtime website, "The Thing" is scheduled to appear on Sundance
channel, "Friday 12:05am" (Eastern). See below for copy/paste of
scheduled broadcasts.

A check on the Directv site indicates it will be shown on Saturday, Dec.
17at 12:05 am, Eastern.

Showtime is a day off. This happens consistently. To Showtime, Friday
night continues through the next early morning; thus, Saturday 12:05 am is
still Friday! This is really confusing because somebody on Mountain Time
would expect to see "The Thing" THURSDAY 10:05 pm. But it will in reality
be shown on Friday, Dec 16 at 10:05 pm.

Showtime would better serve their customers if they use actual east coast
calendar dates and times and let their customers convert to local dates and
times.


From the Showtime website:

THE THING
UPCOMING AIRDATES:
Sundance Channel
Friday 12:05 AM --------------->Example as explained above as incorrect.
Sundance Channel
Friday 3:00 AM

Dec 22 8:05 PM

The calendar on Showtime is correct, it lists it as Saturday December 17
12:05AM, but the listing if you show it by Title is one day off.

You should call Showtime and let them know. :)

And maybe you should use a better online tv listing service.
